Musnad Abi Ya'la 5140 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked who are
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ السَّلْمَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ : قَرْنِي ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ تَبْدُرُ شَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ يَمِينَهُ ، وَيَبْدُرُ يَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ ، قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ : كَانُوا يَنْهَوْنَنَا وَنَحْنُ صِبْيَانٌ عَنِ الْعَهْدِ وَالشَّهَادَاتِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked who are the best of people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people of my generation are the best, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. After that there will come people, the testimony of one of whom will precede his oath, and his oath will outstrip his testimony." Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "When we were small children, our elders used to forbid us from making covenants and giving testimonies."
