“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘The likeness of this world in comparison to the Hereafter is that of anyone of you dipping his finger into the sea: let him see what he brings forth.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4108)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَمِثْلِ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ هَذِهِ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَا يَرْجِعُ وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ  

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘The likeness of this world in comparison to the Hereafter is that of anyone of you dipping his finger into the sea: let him see what he brings forth.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4108)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاللهِ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا مِثْلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ هَذِهِ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَ تَرْجِعُ يَعْنِي الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ  

[Machine] Narrated by Al-Mustawrid ibn Shaddad, the companion of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he performed ablution, he would intertwine the fingers of his feet with his little finger."  

عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَاللهِ ﷺ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ خَلَّلَ أَصَابِعَ رِجْلَيْهِ بِخِنْصَرِهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone eats once at the cost of a Muslim's honour, Allah will give him a like amount of Jahannam to eat; if anyone clothes himself with a garment at the cost of a Muslim's honour, Allah will clothe him with like amount of Jahannam; and if anyone puts himself in a position of reputation and show Allah will disgrace him with a place of reputation and show on the Day of Resurrection. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4881)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَكَلَ بِرَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَكْلَةً وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُكْلَةً فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُطْعِمُهُ مِثْلَهَا مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ وَمَنْ اكْتَسَى بِرَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ ثَوْبًا فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَكْسُوهُ مِثْلَهُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ وَمَنْ قَامَ بِرَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ مَقَامَ سُمْعَةٍ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَقُومُ بِهِ مَقَامَ سُمْعَةٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘The likeness of this world in comparison to the Hereafter is that of anyone of you dipping his finger into the sea: let him see what he brings forth.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4108)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَاللهِ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا مِثْلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ  

“I was riding with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came across a dead lamb that had been thrown out.’ He said: ‘Don’t you think that this is worthless to its owners?’ It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, it is because it is worthless that they have thrown it out, - or words to that effect. He said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, this world is more worthless to Allah than this is to its owners.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4111)   

كُنْتُ فِي رَكْبٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺإِذْ مَرَّ بِسَخْلَةٍ مَيْتَةٍ مَنْبُوذَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِنْ هَوَانِهَا أَلْقَوْهَا قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمِّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا  

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘The likeness of this world in comparison to the Hereafter is that of anyone of you dipping his finger into the sea: let him see what he brings forth.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4108)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاللهِ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا مِثْلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Whoever has responsibility over our affairs but does not have a place to live, let him take a place to live. And whoever does not have a spouse, let him get married. And whoever does not have a servant, let him take a servant. And whoever does not have a means of transportation, let him acquire a means of transportation. And whoever gains anything other than that, it is excess."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَلِيَ لَنَا عَمَلًا وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَنْزِلٌ فَلْيَتَّخِذْ مَنْزِلًا أَوْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ زَوْجَةٌ فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ أَوْ لَيْسَ لَهُ خَادِمٌ فَلْيَتَّخِذْ خَادِمًا أَوْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ دَابَّةٌ فَلْيَتَّخِذْ دَابَّةً وَمَنْ أَصَابَ شَيْئًا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غَالٌّ  

[Machine] Narrated by Al-Mustawrid ibn Shaddad, the companion of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he performed ablution, he used to pass his little finger three times between his toes."  

عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ يُخَلِّلُ أَصَابِعَ رِجْلَيْهِ بِخِنْصَرِهِ  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever has the means and does not have a spouse, let them get married. And if they cannot get married, then let them have a servant. And if they cannot have a servant, then let them have a house or a riding animal. And whoever acquires anything else besides that, then they are extravagant or a thief."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَلِيَ عَمَلًا فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ زَوْجَةً فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ أَوْ خَادِمًا فَلْيَتَّخِذْ خَادِمًا أَوْ مَسْكَنًا أَوْ دَابَّةً فَلْيَتَّخِذْ دَابَّةً فَمَنْأَصَابَ شَيْئًا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ غَالٌّ أَوْ سَارِقٌ  

[Machine] Abdul Rahman ibn Jubayr narrated the hadith.  

عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever performs an act for us (the Prophet and his companions), then he mentions (narrates) a narration like the hadith of Al-Harith."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَلِيَ لَنَا عَمَلًا فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ الْحَارِثِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand my soul is, this worldly life compared to the Hereafter is nothing but like a man who dipped his finger in the sea and then withdrew it. He said, 'This is the worldly life compared to the hereafter.' And indeed, I am in a caravan with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we passed by a cursed, forsaken piece of land. He said, 'Do you think that this land is despicable to its people?' They replied, 'Due to its despicability, they have abandoned it.' He said, 'By the One in whose hand my soul is, this worldly life in the sight of Allah is more insignificant than this land is to its people.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِينَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَرَجُلٍ وَضَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ ثُمَّ رَجَعَهَا قَالَ وَإِنِّي لَفِي الرَّكْبِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَرَّ عَلَى سَخْلَةٍ مَنْبُوذَةٍ عَلَى كُنَاسَةٍ فَقَالَ أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا؟ فَقَالُوا مِنْ هَوَانِهَا أَلْقَوْهَا هَاهُنَا قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا عَلَى اللهِ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "By Allah, this world compared to the hereafter is nothing but a man who dipped his finger in the sea and then withdrew it. So what did he take from it?" They said, "It is insignificant compared to what remained behind." He said, "By Allah, the world is more insignificant compared to Allah than this is compared to what remained behind."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَاللهِ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَرَجُلٍ وَضَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَمَا أَخَذَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ وَقَالَ الْمُسْتَوْرِدُ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مَعَ الرَّكْبِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ مَرَّ بِمَنْزِلِ قَوْمٍ قَدِ ارْتَحَلُوا عَنْهُ فَإِذَاسَخْلَةٌ مَطْرُوحَةٌ فَقَالَ أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا حِينَ أَلْقَوْهَا قَالُوا مِنْ هَوَانِهَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْقَوْهَا قَالَ فَوَاللهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا  

[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "If you say that, then there are four qualities in them. They are indeed the fastest people to perform a deed after a pause, and they are the best of people to the poor, the needy, and the weak. They are the most forbearing people during times of tribulation. And the fourth quality is a good, beautiful characteristic. They are indeed the people who prevent others from the oppression of rulers."  

سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ لئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ إِنَّ فِيهِمْ لَخِصَالًا أَرْبَعًا إِنَّهُمْ لَأَسْرَعُ النَّاسِ كَرَّةً بَعْدَ فَرَّةٍ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَخَيْرُ النَّاسِ لِمِسْكِينٍ وَفَقِيرٍ وَضَعِيفٍ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَأَحْلَمُ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ فِتْنَةٍ وَالرَّابِعَةُ حَسَنَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَأَمْنَعُ النَّاسِ مِنْ ظُلْمِ الْمُلُوكِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The Romans will be the most severe people upon you, and they have indeed perished with the Hour." So 'Umar said to him, "Did I not admonish you against something like this?"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَلَيْكُمُ الرُّومُ وَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَتُهُمْ مَعَ السَّاعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمْرٌو أَلَمْ أَزْجُرْكَ عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا
