حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي الَّذِينَ يَلُونِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ قَالَ وَلَا أَدْرِي أَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوْ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ ثُمَّ يَخْلُفُ بَعْدَهُمْ خَلْفٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ يَمِينَهُ وَيَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3963

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "The best of the people are my generation who are with me, then those who come after them, then those who come after them." And I do not know whether he said after the third or fourth time: "There will come people after them one of whose testimony will come before his oath and his oath before his testimony.
