The Spirit and Wisdom of the early Muslim
The early generation, i.e ‘ As Salaf as Salih’; The righteous Predecessors’, Islamically speaking means the first 3 generation of Muslim, as stipulated in the Hadeeth of Rasulullah SAAW:
Narrated Abdullah:
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.”
