عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْلَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ مَعَ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ قَوْمٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ أَيْمَانَهُمْ وَأَيْمَانُهُمْ شَهَادَتَهُمْ“ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ مَرَّةً ”الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ“
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Mula, he says: I was walking with Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The best era of this Ummah is the one in which I was sent, then the era of the Companions, then the era of the Followers (Tabi'in), and then the era of the Followers of the Followers (Taba' Tabi'in). After them, there will come people whose testimony will precede their oaths and their oaths will precede their testimony. Affan narrated it once in this way: The best era is the one in which I was sent, then the era of the Companions, then the era of the Followers, then the era of the Followers of the Followers, and then the era of those who come after.
