Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَمْرَةَ حَدَّثَنِي زَهْدَمُ بْنُ مُضَرِّبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرُكُمْ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ لَا أَدْرِي مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً ثُمَّ يَأْتِي أَوْ يَجِيءُ بَعْدَكُمْ قَوْمٌ يَنْذُرُونَ فَلَا يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلَا يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَشْهَدُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمْ السِّمَنُ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Said narrated to us, from Shubah, Abu Jamrah narrated to me, Zahdam ibn Mudarrib narrated to me, who said: I heard Imran ibn Husayn say: 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' — I do not know whether he said it twice or three times — 'then after you there will come people who make vows and do not fulfill them, who betray and are not trusted, who testify without being asked to testify, and obesity will spread among them.'
