3651. Narrated 'Abdullāh ʿt: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best amongst the people are those living in my century (generation), and then those coming after them, and then those coming after the latter. Then there will come some people whose witness will precede their oaths, and their oaths will precede their witness."(1) (Ibrāhīm, a subnarrator said, "We were beaten for taking oaths by saying: 'I bear witness by the Name of Allāh' or 'by the Covenant of Allāh', when we were still children.") [See Vol. 3, footnote of Hadith No.2652]

3651 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ يَمِينَهُ، وَيَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ "، قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: وَكَانُوا يَضْرِبُونَنَا عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ وَالعَهْدِ وَنَحْنُ صِغَارٌ
