It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The best era of this Ummah and the best people are those among whom I was sent. After them will come those who will come after this era, then those who will come after them, then those who will come after them. Then there will come people whose oaths will precede their testimonies and whose testimonies will precede their oaths.
