Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, "Which people are the best?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "Those of my era, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come people among whom a person's testimony will precede his oath, and his oath will precede his testimony (meaning they will swear false oaths and give false testimonies)."
