“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.’”  

إِنِّي لَفِي الرَّكْبِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى سَخْلَةٍ مَنْبُوذَةٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَتُرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ هَوَانِهَا أَلْقَوْهَا أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا  

“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  

[Machine] I am with the messenger of Allah ﷺ and his gaze fell upon an abandoned water skin. He said, "Do you see how insignificant this is to its owners?" They said, "Because of its worthlessness, they discarded it." He said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, this world is more insignificant to Allah than this water skin is to its owners."  

إِنِّي لَفِي الرَّكَبِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَى عَيْنُهُ عَلَى سَخْلَةٍ مَنْبُوذَةٍ أَلْقُوهَا فَقَالَ «أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا» ؟ قَالُوا مِنْ هَوَانِهَا أَلْقُوهَا قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لِلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a dead donkey with his companions, and he said to them, "Do you see how this animal has become worthless to its owner?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, this world is more insignificant to Allah than this animal is to its owner when they throw it away."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ بِسَخْلَةٍ مَيْتًا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «هَلْ تَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا حِينَ أَلْقَوْهَا»
