حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ أَقْوَامٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ يَمِينَهُ، وَيَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَكَانُوا يَضْرِبُونَنَا عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ وَالْعَهْدِ‏.‏

Narrated `Abdullah:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The people of my generation are the best, then those who follow them, and then those who follow the latter. After that there will come some people whose witness will go ahead of their oaths, and their oaths will go ahead of their witness." Ibrahim (a sub-narrator) said, "We used to be beaten for taking oaths by saying, 'I bear witness by the Name of Allah or by the Covenant of Allah

Abdullah (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Nabi ne farmaya: "Mere zamane ke log sabse behtareen hain, phir woh jo unki pairvi karte hain, phir woh jo unke baad unki pairvi karte hain. Uske baad kuch aise log aayenge jinki gawahi unki qasmon se aage aayegi, aur unki qasmen unki gawahi se aage aayengi." Ibrahim (doosre raawi) ne kaha: "Humein qasam khane par maara jata agar hum kehte, 'Main Allah ke naam ki, ya Allah ke ahad ki qasam khata hoon.'"
