عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ الْفِهْرِيِّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " وَاللَّهِ ، مَا الدُّنْيَا مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَمَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَ تَرْجِعُ ! " . قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ قَوْلِهِ : " مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا " . وَقَوْلُهُ : " وَاللَّهِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الصَّغِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .

(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This narration is mentioned in the Sahih, but without these words: "from its beginning to its end," nor (are) these words (there): "By Allah." Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Ahmad bin Mu'awiyah, who is da'if (weak).
