Another version of the narration regarding the pious passing away in succession

Answered by 

Shaykh Suhail Motala

Question:

Is this Hadith correct?

يقبض الصالحون الأول فالأول وتبقى حفالة كحفالة التمر والشعير لا يعبأ الله بهم شيئا

Answer:

Yes, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this particular version of the Hadith as the statement of Sayyiduna Mirdas Al Aslami (radiyallahu ‘anhu). He has also recorded similar wording as a Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). See here 

Sayyiduna Mirdas Al Aslami (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said:

“Pious people will pass away in succession and there will remain the dregs of society who will be like the dregs/husks of dates and barley. Allah will not pay any attention to them.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 4156)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
