Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1122 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said
وَعَنْ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ . عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي قَوْمٌ تَسْبِقُ أَيْمَانُهُمْ شَهَادَتَهُمْ ، وَشَهَادَتُهُمْ أَيْمَانَهُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best of people are those of my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come people whose oaths will precede their testimony, and whose testimony will precede their oaths."
