Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best era in my Ummah is the one in which I am present, then the era of those who come after them, then the era of those who come after them. (The narrator says that I do not know whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said it a third time or not.) Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then there will come people who will love obesity and will give testimony before it is asked for.
