Riyad as-Salihin, 1828
Mirdas Al-Aslami (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The pious men will depart one after another, the dregs of people, like the sediment of barley or dates will remain; Allah will not raise them in value and esteem." <b>[Al- Bukhari]</b>.
وعن مرادس الأسلمي رضي الله عنه قال: قال للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم :
يذهب الصالحون الأول فالأول، وتبقى حثالة كحثالة الشعير أو التمر، لا يباليهم الله باله
((رواه البخاري)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The death of scholars and righteous people is one of signs of the Hour. Only ignorant and mean people will remain at the end of time.<br>
2) One should beware of being lowly and should be keen to hold fast to the religion of Allah, even if most people become corrupt. “Indeed, the true Jamā‘ah (group) is those who adhere to the truth, even if it consists of one person.”
