Yaʿqūb ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to me, Hushaym narrated to us, on the authority of Abū Bishr — and (another chain): Ismāʿīl ibn Sālim narrated to me, Hushaym informed us, Abū Bishr informed us, on the authority of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Shaqīq, on the authority of Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best of my community are the generation in which I was sent, then those who follow them." And Allāh knows best whether he mentioned the third or not. He said: "Then there will come a people who love plumpness, who give testimony before they are asked to testify."
