حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ هُوَ : ابْنُ بِشْرٍ الْأَحْمَسِيُّ ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ مِرْدَاسٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" يَذْهَبُ الصَّالِحُونَ أَسْلَافًا وَيَبْقَى حُثَالَةٌ كَحُثَالَةِ الشَّعِيرِ "

Saeed bin Mansour told us, Abu Awanah told us, on the authority of a statement: Ibn Bishr Al-Ahmasi, on the authority of Qais, on the authority of Mirdas Al-Aslami. He said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The righteous ancestors will go away, but scum will remain like the scum of barley.”
