"إِنَّ الله تَعَالى جَعَلَ الدُّنْيَا كُلَّها قَلِيلًا ومَا بَقِي مِنْهَا إلا الْقَلِيلُ كالثَّغْب، شُرِبَ صَفْوُهُ وَبَقى كَدَرُهُ".

[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)

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
