The Authenticity of: "The Righteous Do Not Decay"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is this hadith, "The righteous do not decay, and the pious do not die," authentic?

Answer:
No, this is a saying on the tongues of some preachers, and I do not know it to be a hadith from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
