حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ (ح) وحَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لاَ ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ يَخْلُفُ قَوْمٌ يُحِبُّونَ السَّمَانَةَ ، يَشْهَدُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَشْهَدُوا.
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'The best of my Ummah are the generation among whom I was sent, then those who come after them.' Allah knows best whether he said it a third time or not, then he said: 'Then there will come a people who love to be fat, and they will give testimony before being asked to do so."'
