[edit] General
Sunni muslims include them among the best generations on Earth, along with the Tabi‘in and the Sahaba.
[edit] Definition according to the sunnis
The sunnis define a Taba‘ at-Tabi‘i as a Muslim who: 1) Saw at least one of the Tabi‘in. 2) Was rightly guided. (That would be, according to the sunnis, one who adheres to the beliefs and actions of the Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jamaa'h). 3) And the one who died in that state. The sunnis consider the Taba‘ at-Tabi‘in as the best generation after the Tabi‘in. According to them Muhammad said, "The best people are those living in my generation, then those coming after them (Tabi‘in), and then those coming after (the second generation)" Sahih Bukhari [1]
