Tirmidhi Book 33, Hadith 2222
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِي بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ، قَالَ: وَلَا أَعْلَمُ ذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لَا، ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ أَقْوَامٌ يَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ، وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُؤْتَمَنُونَ، وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
`Imran bin Husain narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best of my Ummah is the generation among whom I was sent, then those who follow them. He(`Imran) said: I do not know if he mentioned the third or not. Then there shall appear people who testify while their testimony was not sought, who are treacherous, not trusted, and fatness shall spread among them.
