6658. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ was asked, "Who are the best people?" He replied: "The people of my century (generation), and then those who will come after them, and then those who will come after the latter; after that there will come some people whose witness will precede their oaths and their oaths will precede their witness." Ibrāhīm (a subnarrator) said, "When we were young, our elder friends used to prohibit us from taking oaths by saying, 'I bear witness by the Name of Allāh, or by the Covenant of Allāh'." [See Vol. 3, Hadīth Nos. 2651, 2652, 2653]

Arabic text

6658 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: " قَرْنِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ: تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ يَمِينَهُ وَيَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ " قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: «وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُنَا يَنْهَوْنَا - وَنَحْنُ غِلْمَانٌ - أَنْ نَحْلِفَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ وَالعَهْدِ»
