Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37110 — Reports from our Prophet
٣٧١١٠ - حدثنا (١) أبو خالد الأحمر عن حجاج عن أبي جعفر عن جابر قال: مر رسول اللَّه ﷺ على شاة ميتة فقال: "لم (ترون) (٢) ألقى هذه أهلها؟ " (فقالوا) (٣): يا رسول اللَّه وهل ينتفعون بها وقد ماتت؟ فقال: "لزوال الدنيا أهون على اللَّه من هذه على أهلها" (٤).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a dead goat. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Why have its owners thrown this goat away?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Could those people benefit from it when it has died?" At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As worthless (and without value) as this goat is to its owners, this world is even more worthless (and without value) to Allah Almighty."
