Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ مِرْدَاسٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يُقْبَضُ الصَّالِحُ الْأَوَّلُ فَالْأَوَّلُ وَيَبْقَى كَحُثَالَةِ التَّمْرِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ubayd told us, he said: Isma'il told us, from Qays, from Mirdas al-Aslami, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: The righteous will be taken, the first then the first [one after another], until there remains [only] the residue like the dregs of dates.
