Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by the refuse heap of a people where there was a dead goat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Would its owners not have any need of it?" The people said: "O Messenger of Allah, had its owners needed it, they would not have thrown it away." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah, the world is more worthless to Allah Almighty than this goat is to its owners, and let me never find it (that is, the world) in a state where it has brought ruin upon any of you."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
