"Righteous people will go (die) one after another. Meanwhile, the dregs of people, like waste barley or dates, will remain. Allah will not raise them in esteem." [Al-Bukhari]
"«يذهب الصالحون الأول فالأول، ويبقى حُثَالَةٌ كَحُثَالَةِ الشعير أو التمر لا يُبَالِيهُم الله بَالَةً». [صحيح.] - [رواه البخاري.]"
