Hadith text

Narrated Zahdam bin Mudarrib:`Imran bin Husain said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best people are my contemporaries (i.e., the present (my) generation) and then those who come after them (i.e., the next generation)." `Imran added: I am not sure whether the Prophet (ﷺ) repeated the statement twice after his first saying. The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "And after them there will come people who will bear witness, though they will not be asked to give their witness; and they will be treacherous and nobody will trust them, and they will make vows, but will not fulfill them, and fatness will appear among them

Zahdam bin Mudarrib bataate hain: Imran bin Husain ne kaha, Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Sabse behtareen log mere (waqt ke) log hain, aur phir wo jo unke baad aayenge.' Imran ne izaafa kiya, 'Mujhe yaqeen nahi ke Nabi (SAW) ne apni pehli baat ke baad ise do baar dohraaya ya nahi.' Nabi (SAW) ne aage kaha, 'Aur unke baad aise log aayenge jo gawaahi denge, halaanke unse gawaahi maangi nahi jaayegi; aur wo dhoke-baaz honge aur koi unpar bharosa nahi karega, aur wo mannatein maanenge magar unhein poora nahi karenge, aur unmein motaapa zaahir hoga.'
