English translation

[6477] 215 - (...) This Hadīth was narrated from 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain from the Prophet ﷺ: "The best of this Ummah are the generation to whom I was sent, then those who come after them." In the Hadīth of Abū 'Awānah it adds: "He said: 'And Allāh knows best whether he mentioned the third time or not'" - like the Hadīth of Zahdam from 'Imrān. In the Hadīth of Hishām from Qatādah it adds: "They will swear oaths but they will not be asked to swear oaths."

215 - (2535) وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْأُمَوِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ «خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ» زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ، قَالَ: وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ، أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لَا، بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ زَهْدَمٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ، وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ «وَيَحْلِفُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَحْلَفُونَ»
