Sayyiduna Ruwayfi’ bin Thabit Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Fresh and dry dates were presented to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The people ate them until only one pit remained. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know what this is? The people replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The good people will depart one by one, until only those like this (useless ones) will remain among you.
