Ahadith about Dajjal and Portents of the Hour
Mirdas Al-Aslami (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) 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."[Al-Bukhari].


Commentary:
The Hadith shows that the demise of the pious people is one of the signs of the nearness of the Day of Resurrection. It also shows that during the last days near the Day of Resurrection, pious persons will not remain and only the wicked people will inhabit the earth and the Day of Judgement will dawn on such bad people.

وعَنْ مِرْداسٍ الأسْلَمِيِّ رضي اللَّه عَنْهُ قالَ قالَ النَّبيُّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم : « يَذْهَبُ الصَّالحُونَ الأوَّلُ فالأولُ ، وتَبْقَى حُثَالَةٌ كحُثَالَةِ الشِّعِيرِ أوْ التَّمْرِ ، لا يُبالِيهمُ اللَّه بالَةً » ، رواه البخاري .
