حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ , عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْمُسْتَوْرِدُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ , قَالَ : إِنِّي لَفِي الرَّكْبِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , 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 " .
´Mustawrid bin Shaddad said:` “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.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
With Allah, the true importance lies in a person's deeds.
If worldly means are used for righteous actions, they are beneficial for a person; otherwise, wealth, riches, or status and grandeur have no significance with Allah.
(2)
Worldly means should be acquired through lawful (halal) sources, and they should be spent on such deeds that earn the pleasure of Allah.
(3)
The true place of Allah’s pleasure and rewards is Paradise (Jannah).
In comparison to this, even the greatest wealth of the world holds no value.
