The first three generations of Muslims comprised of the Companions of the Prophet and then their followers the Tabien and thereafter Tabi Tabien who were the followers of the Tabien.
Of all the Tabien, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said, "Owais Qarani is the best of the Tabien". Note how the Prophet mentioned the word "Tabien". He did not use the word "Salaf" whereas the Wahabis, refer to these generations as "Salaf" and include several people who were known deviators of the prophetic way.
