Abdullah reported: It was asked from Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) who amongst the people were the best. He said: (People) of my generation, then those next to them, then those next to them, then there would come a people whose evidence would precede their oath and their oath would precede their evidence. Ibrahim said: They forbade us to make vows and bear witness when we were too young.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا وقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: حَدَّثَنَا - جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، 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، وَتَبْدُرُ يَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ» قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: كَانُوا يَنْهَوْنَنَا، وَنَحْنُ غِلْمَانٌ، عَنِ الْعَهْدِ وَالشَّهَادَاتِ
