Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Sidebar/configuration' not found. Salaf (Template:Langx, 'ancestors' or 'predecessors'), also often referred to with the honorific expression of al-salaf al-ṣāliḥ (Script error: No such module "Lang"., 'the pious predecessors'), are often taken to be the first three generations of Muslims.[1] This comprises companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (the Script error: No such module "lang".), their followers (the Script error: No such module "lang".), and the followers of the followers (the Script error: No such module "lang".).[2] Their religious significance lay in the statement attributed to Muhammad: "The best of my community are my generation, the ones who follow them and the ones who follow them",[3] a period believed to exemplify the purest form of Islam. The generations of Muslims after the third are referred to as the Khalaf.[4]
