حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ مَعَ الرَّكْبِ الَّذِينَ وَقَفُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى السَّخْلَةِ الْمَيِّتَةِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا حِينَ أَلْقَوْهَا " ، قَالُوا : مِنْ هَوَانِهَا أَلْقَوْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " فَالدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا " ، وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ .
´Al-Mustawrid bin Shaddad said:` "I was with the caravan of those who stopped with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) at a dead lamb. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Do you think that this was insignificant to its owners when they threw it away?' They said:'Yes! It is because of its insignificance that they threw it away O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'The world is more insignificant to Allah than this to its owners.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
With Allah, the true importance lies in a person's deeds.
If worldly means are used for righteous actions, they are beneficial for a person; otherwise, wealth, riches, or status and grandeur have no significance with Allah.
(2)
Worldly means should be acquired through lawful (halal) sources, and they should be spent on such deeds that earn the pleasure of Allah.
(3)
The true place of Allah’s pleasure and rewards is Paradise (Jannah).
In comparison to this, even the greatest wealth of the world holds no value.
