أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ
«خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ تَسْبِقُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ أَيْمَانَهُمْ وَأَيْمَانُهُمْ شَهَادَتَهُمْ»

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best people are those of my generation, and then those who will come after them (the next generation), and then those who will come after them (i.e. the next generation), and then after them, there will come people whose witness will precede their oaths, and whose oaths will precede their witness."

سئل عن حديث علقمة عن عبد الله عن النبي فقال قيل ذلك عن مصعب بن ماهان عن سفيان عن منصور وعن ابن أبي عدي عن شعبة عن منصور عن إبراهيم عن علقمة عن عبد الله ولا يصح والصواب عن إبراهيم عن عبيدة عن عبد الله
machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: It was said thus from Muṣʿab b. Māhān, from Sufyān, from Manṣūr, and from Ibn Abī ʿAdī, from Shuʿbah, from Manṣūr, from Ibrāhīm, from ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbdullāh. But it is not sound (ṣaḥīḥ); the correct version is from Ibrāhīm, from ʿUbaydah, from ʿAbdullāh.
