Sahih al-Bukhari 6434 (Book 81, Hadith 23) #6183
The Departure of the Righteous

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned that the righteous people will die one after the other, and only useless people will remain on earth.

Narrated Mirdas Al-Aslami: The Prophet said, "The righteous (pious people will depart (die) in succession one after the other, and there will remain (on the earth) useless people like the useless husk of barley seeds or bad dates.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ مِرْدَاسٍ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ يَذْهَبُ الصَّالِحُونَ الأَوَّلُ فَالأَوَّلُ، وَيَبْقَى حُفَالَةٌ كَحُفَالَةِ الشَّعِيرِ أَوِ التَّمْرِ، لاَ يُبَالِيهِمُ اللَّهُ بَالَةً ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُقَالُ حُفَالَةٌ وَحُثَالَةٌ‏.‏

It is a warning to all believers to strive for righteousness and piety in their lives so that they can be among those who are remembered fondly when they depart from this world. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was reminding us that our time here is limited and we should make sure to use it wisely by doing good deeds and avoiding bad ones. He also wanted us to remember that even though some may seem useless now, they could still turn their lives around if they choose to do so.
