باب في هَوَانِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى اللَّهِ:Chapter on the insignificance of the world to Allah
Hadith 2772
أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَزِّمِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِسَخْلَةٍ جَرْبَاءَ قَدْ أَخْرَجَهَا أَهْلُهَا . قَالَ: "تُرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَيِّنَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا ؟". قَالُوا: نَعَمْ . قَالَ: "وَاللَّهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a scabby goat kid which its owner had thrown out. He said: "Do you know how insignificant (despised or of little value) this is to its owner?" They replied: Yes. He said: "By Allah, the world is even more insignificant to Allah than this kid is to its owner."
