وعن عمران بن الحصين رضي الله عنهما، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال‏:‏ ‏"‏ خيركم قرني، ثم الذين يلونهم، ثم الذين يلونهم‏"‏ قال عمران‏:‏ فما أدري قال‏:‏ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مرتين أو ثلاثاً ‏"‏ ثم يكون بعدهم قوم يشهدون ولا يستشهدون، ويخونون ولا يؤتمنون، وينذرون ولا يوفون، ويظهر فيهم السمن‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

'Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best of you, are my contemporaries, then those who follow them, then those who will come after them. ('Imran said, I do not know if he said this twice or thrice). Then, they will be followed by those who will testify but will not be called upon to testify; they will betray the trust, and will not be trusted. They will make vows but will not fulfill them, and obesity will prevail among them." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
