حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ‏"‏ . وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لاَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ يَظْهَرُ قَوْمٌ يَشْهَدُونَ وَلاَ يُسْتَشْهَدُونَ وَيَنْذِرُونَ وَلاَ يُوفُونَ وَيَخُونُونَ وَلاَ يُؤْتَمَنُونَ وَيَفْشُو فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ ‏"‏ .

English translation
‘Imran b. Husain reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying :the best of my people is the generation in which I have been sent, then their immediate followers, then their immediate followers. Allah knows best whether he mentioned the third or not. After them will be people who will give testimony without being asked, who will make vows which they do not fulfill, who will be treacherous and not to be trusted, among whom fatness will appear
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ইমরান ইবনু হুসাইন (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আমার উম্মাতের মধ্যে সর্বোত্তম হলো তারা যাদের মধ্যে আমি প্রেরিত হয়েছি। অতঃপর যারা তাদের সঙ্গে সংলগ্ন, আল্লাহই ভালো জানেন যে, তিনি তৃতীয় স্তরটি উল্লেখ করেছেন কি না। তারপর এমন সম্প্রদায়ের আবির্ভাব ঘটবে যারা সাক্ষী হিসেবে তাদেরকে না ডাকা হলেও সাক্ষ্য দিবে। তার মান্নাত করে তা পূর্ণ করবে না, তারা আত্মসাৎ করবে এবং আমানতদার হবে না। আর তাদের মধ্যে মেদ-ভূঁড়ি প্রকাশ পাবে। সহীহ।
