[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
