[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted has made the entire dunya (worldly life) insignificant, and what remains of it is only a little of the little. And the example of what remains of it is like a body of water known as 'Al-Thaghab' (a small pond), from which the pure water has been consumed and what remains is its sediment." (Sahih Isnad and it was not narrated by Sahih compilers)  

الحاكم:٧٩٠٤أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السِّمْسَارُ الْوَرَّاقُ ثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّعْرَانِيُّ ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَيْشِيُّ ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ الدُّنْيَا كُلَّهَا قَلِيلًا وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا الْقَلِيلُ مِنَ الْقَلِيلِ وَمَثَلُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا كَالثَّغْبِ يَعْنِي الْغَدِيرَ شُرِبَ صَفْوُهُ وَبَقِيَ كَدَرُهُ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ صحيح
