ما ذكر في الكف عن أصحاب النبي ﷺNarrations Regarding Refraining from Criticizing the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Hadith 34593
٣٤٥٩٣ - حدثنا عفان قال: ثنا حماد بن سلمة عن الجريري عن أبي نضرة عن عبد اللَّه بن مولة قال: كنت أسير مع (أبي بردة) (١) الأسلمي فقال: سمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقول: "خير هذه الأمة القرن الذي بعثت فيهم، ثم الذين يلونهم، ثم الذين يلونهم، ثم (الذين يلونهم) (٢)، ثم يكون فيهم قوم تسبق شهادتهم أيمانهم، ⦗١٧١⦘ وأيمانهم شهادتهم" (٣).
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mawlah, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that I was walking with Hazrat Buraidah Aslami, may Allah be pleased with him, when he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: The best individuals of this Ummah are those people of the era in which I was sent, then those who are joined with them, then those who are joined with them, then those who are joined with them. Then there will come a people whose testimonies will precede their oaths and whose oaths will precede their testimonies.
