Sahih al-Bukhari 4156 (Book 64, Hadith 200) #3975
The Succession of Pious People

SUMMARY: Pious people will die in succession and the remaining people will be like useless residues, and Allah will not pay attention to them.

Narrated Mirdas Al-Aslami: Who was among those (who had given the Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree: Pious people will die in succession, and there will remain the dregs of society who will be like the useless residues of dates and barley and Allah will pay no attention to them.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مِرْدَاسًا الأَسْلَمِيَّ، يَقُولُ ـ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الشَّجَرَةِ ـ يُقْبَضُ الصَّالِحُونَ الأَوَّلُ فَالأَوَّلُ، وَتَبْقَى حُفَالَةٌ كَحُفَالَةِ التَّمْرِ وَالشَّعِيرِ، لاَ يَعْبَأُ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ شَيْئًا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the succession of pious people. It tells us that those who are pious and devoted to Allah will pass away one after another, leaving behind only the dregs of society who are like useless residues of dates and barley. These people have no value in the eyes of Allah, so He does not pay any attention to them. This hadith teaches us that we should strive for piety in our lives so that we can be among those who are remembered by Allah even after they have passed away. We should also remember that if we do not strive for piety, then our lives may become worthless in His eyes as well.
