مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5103 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The best people
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ السَّلْمَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ يَلُونِي ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ يَمِينَهُ ، وَيَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ : كُنَّا نُنْهَى أَنْ نَحْلِفَ بِالْعَهْدِ وَالشَّهَادَاتِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best people of my Ummah are those of my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come people whose testimony will precede their oath, and whose oath will precede their testimony." Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "We used to be forbidden from swearing oaths by covenant and by testimonies."
