أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُدْرِكٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ قَالَ
قَدِمْتُ الْبَصْرَةَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْسَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ سِمَانٌ يُعْطُونَ الشَّهَادَةَ وَلَا يُسْأَلُونَهَا»

✧ I came to Basrah and there was a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, not Anas b. Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then there will come a people who are plump and they will give testimony without being asked for it.'
