فَضْلُ مِنْهُ فِي مثل الدُّنْيَا عِنْدَ اللهِ وَهَوَانِهَا عَلَيْهِ
Section on the parable of the world with Allah and its insignificance to Him
Hadith 10080
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَاةٍ مَيْتَةٍ قَدْ أَلْقَاهَا أَهْلُهَا فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a dead goat which its owners had thrown away, and said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul! The value that this goat has in the sight of its owners, the world has even less value than that in the sight of Allah Almighty."
Hadith 10081
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِسَخْلَةٍ جَرْبَاءَ قَدْ أَخْرَجَهَا أَهْلُهَا فَقَالَ ((أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَيِّنَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا)) قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ ((لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا))
Syedna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a mangy lamb that had been cast out by its owners. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What do you think about this lamb—would it be considered insignificant by its owners? The people replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The world is even more insignificant in the sight of Allah than this lamb is to its owners.
Hadith 10082
عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى الْعَالِيَةَ فَمَرَّ بِالسُّوقِ فَمَرَّ بِجَدْيٍ أَسَكَّ مَيِّتٍ فَتَنَاوَلَهُ فَرَفَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ((بِكَمْ تُحِبُّونَ أَنَّ هَذَا لَكُمْ)) قَالُوا مَا نُحِبُّ أَنَّهُ لَنَا بِشَيْءٍ وَمَا نَصْنَعُ بِهِ قَالَ ((بِكَمْ تُحِبُّونَ أَنَّ هَذَا لَكُمْ)) قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ حَيًّا لَكَانَ عَيْبًا فِيهِ أَنَّهُ أَسَكُّ فَكَيْفَ وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ قَالَ ((فَوَاللَّهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذَا عَلَيْكُمْ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the upper area and passed by a dead baby goat with small ears. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of the kid and lifted it up, then said: "For how much would you like to buy this?" The people said: "We would not like to give anything for it. What would we do with it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: "For how much would you like to buy it?" The people said: "By Allah, even if it were alive, it would be considered defective because its ears are small, and now it is dead altogether." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah, the world is even more insignificant in the sight of Allah than this."
Hadith 10083
عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((وَاللَّهِ)) وَفِي لَفْظٍ ((وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَرَجُلٍ وَضَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ)) وَفِي لَفْظٍ ((فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَا يَرْجِعُ أَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ)) وَفِي لَفْظٍ ((يَعْنِي الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ)) قَالَ وَقَالَ الْمُسْتَوْرِدُ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مَعَ الرَّكْبِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ مَرَّ بِمَنْزِلِ قَوْمٍ قَدِ ارْتَحَلُوا عَنْهُ فَإِذَا سَخْلَةٌ مَطْرُوحَةٌ فَقَالَ ((أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا حِينَ أَلْقَوْهَا)) قَالُوا مِنْ هَوَانِهَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْقَوْهَا قَالَ ((فَوَاللَّهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mustawrid bin Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah! The world, in comparison to the Hereafter, is like a man dipping his finger into the river and then taking it out and seeing how much water it returns with. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards the index finger next to the thumb. Sayyiduna Mustawrid (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I bear witness that I was with that caravan which was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by the place of a people who had already moved on from there, and there was a kid (young goat) lying there, which those people had thrown away. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about it: Do you think that its owners left it only because they considered it insignificant? The people said: Yes, due to its lack of importance, they threw it away. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah, the world is even more insignificant in the sight of Allah Almighty than this.
Hadith 10084
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْكِلَابِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ ((يَا ضَحَّاكُ مَا طَعَامُكَ)) قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اللَّبَنُ وَاللَّحْمُ قَالَ ((ثُمَّ يَصِيرُ إِلَى مَاذَا)) قَالَ إِلَى مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ضَرَبَ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَثَلًا لِلدُّنْيَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Duhak bin Sufyan Kilabi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Duhak! What is your food?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah! Milk and meat." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then asked: "In the end, what does it become when it leaves the body?" He replied: "You know best, O Messenger." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has set forth as an example for the world that which comes out from the son of Adam."
Hadith 10085
عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((إِنَّ مَطْعَمَ ابْنِ آدَمَ جُعِلَ مَثَلًا لِلدُّنْيَا وَإِنْ قَزَّحَهُ وَمَلَّحَهُ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى مَا يَصِيرُ))
Narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The food of the son of Adam has been presented as an example for the world; even if the food is spiced and salted, see what it ultimately becomes.
