Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 16379

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، نَحْنُ خَيْرٌ أَمْ مَنْ بَعْدَنَا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَوْ أَنَّ لِأَحَدِهِمْ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَبًا يُنْفِقُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَا بَلَغَ مُدَّ أَحَدِكُمْ وَلَا نَصِيفَهُ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ بِمَعْنَاهُ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، نَحْنُ خَيْرٌ أَمِ الَّذِينَ يَجِيئُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِنَا ؟ وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِمَا الْوَاقِدِيُّ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We said: "O Messenger of Allah, are we better, or those who come after us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If one of them were to spend gold equal to (Mount) Uhud in the path of Allah, he would still not reach a single mudd of one of you, nor even half of it."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat he recorded a narration with the same meaning, except that its wording is: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, are we better, or those who will come after us?'" The chains of both contain a narrator, al-Waqidi, and he is da'if (weak).
