Salaf ( Arabic : سلف , "ancestors" or "predecessors"), also often referred to with the honorific expression of " al-salaf al-ṣāliḥ " ( السلف الصالح , "the pious predecessors") are often taken to be the first three generations of Muslims . [1] This comprises companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (the Sahabah ), their followers (the Tabi'un ), and the followers of the followers (the Taba al-Tabi'in ). [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.
