حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَىُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قَرْنِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ يَمِينَهُ، وَيَمِينُهُ شَهَادَتَهُ ‏"‏. قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَكَانَ أَصْحَابُنَا يَنْهَوْنَا وَنَحْنُ غِلْمَانٌ أَنْ نَحْلِفَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ وَالْعَهْدِ.

Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked, "Who are the best people?" He replied: The people of my generation, and then those who will follow (come after) them, and then those who will come after the later; after that there will come some people whose witness will precede their oaths and their oaths will go ahead of their witness."

বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে একবার জিজ্ঞেস করা হল, কোন্ মানুষ সর্বোত্তম? তিনি বললেনঃ আমার সময়ের মানুষ। এরপর তাদের পরবর্তী লোকেরা, এরপর তাদের পরবর্তী লোকেরা। এরপরে এমন লোক আসবে যে তাদের সাক্ষ্য কসমের উপর অগ্রগামী হবে, আর কসম সাক্ষ্যের উপর অগ্রগামী হবে। রাবী ইবরাহীম বলেন যে, আমরা যখন বালক ছিলাম তখন আমাদের সঙ্গীরা সাক্ষ্য এবং অঙ্গীকারের সঙ্গে কসম করতে নিষেধ করতেন। [২৬৫২] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬১৯৪, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
