Ibn al-Muthanna said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, I heard Abu Jamrah, Zahdam ibn Mudarrib narrated to me, I heard 'Imran ibn Husayn narrating that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The best of you are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them, then those who follow them." 'Imran said: I do not know whether the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said after his generation two or three times: "Then after them there will come a people who bear witness but are not asked to bear witness, who betray and are not trusted, who make vows and do not fulfill them, and obesity will appear among them."
