The Best Generation of Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that the best generation of Muslims is the one in which he was sent, followed by those who follow them. He also warned about a future generation of people who will be untrustworthy and treacherous.

'Imran bin Husain narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "The best of my Ummah is the generation among whom I was sent, then those who follow them". He('Imran) said: I do not know if he mentioned the third or not".Then there shall appear people who testify while their testimony was not sought, who are treacherous, not trusted, and fatness shall spread among them".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ ذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لاَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ أَقْوَامٌ يَشْهَدُونَ وَلاَ يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلاَ يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
