GENERATIONS AFTER THE COMPANIONS

510

“’The best of you are those who are my Companions, then those who follow directly after them, then those who follow directly after them.’ This he said two or three times. ‘Then they will be followed by those who will bear witness but will not be asked to testify.

They will embezzle and not keep their trusts; they will vow and not fulfill, and obesity will be common among them.’”

Bukhari and Muslim - Imran, the son of Husain who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
