Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ السُّدِّيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَهِيِّ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ أَنَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ الثَّالِثُ.
English Translation
Husayn ibn Ali narrated to us, from Za'idah, from al-Suddi, from Abdullah al-Bahi, from Aisha, who said: A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, which people are best? He said: The generation I am among, then the second, then the third.
