“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] 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 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»
