Sayyiduna Yusuf bin Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "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, he would still not reach a single mudd of one of you, nor even half a mudd."
Imam Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah, and his hadith is hasan (good); the remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.
