حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ رُسْتُمَ الأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ الْهُذَيْلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الفَرَسَانِيُّ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ عَبْدِ السَّلامِ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْمِغْوَلِ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُسْتَوْرِدُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ الْفِهْرِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " وَاللَّهِ ، مَا الدُّنْيَا مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلا كَمَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ أُصْبُعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَا يَرْجِعُ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلِ ، إِلا النُّعْمَانُ
Sayyiduna Mustawrid bin Shaddad Fihri رضي الله عنه narrates: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say: "By Allah! The whole world from its beginning to its end, in comparison to the Hereafter, is not even as much as if a person were to dip his finger into the sea and then see what comes back with it."

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The life of this world is extremely brief, whereas the life of the Hereafter is eternal, with no end.
➋
The blessings of Paradise are so valuable compared to the blessings of this world that even a few inches of empty land in Paradise are worth more than all the wealth and treasures of the world. Then, considering its palaces and gardens and the blessings present therein, the pure wives, servants, etc., one can estimate their worth and value.
Especially, the vision of Allah is such that, in comparison to it, even the greatest blessing of Paradise is insignificant.
➌
By giving an example, an issue becomes clearer and more understandable.
