حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ مُسْتَوْرِدًا أَخَا بَنِي فِهْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا مِثْلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَاذَا يَرْجِعُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَإِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ يُكْنَى أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَوَالِدُ قَيْسٍ أَبُو حَازِمٍ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ، وَهُوَ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ .
´Qa'is bin Abi Hazim said:` I heard Mustawrid, a member of Banu Fihr, saying: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The world compared to the Hereafter is but like what one of you gets when placing his finger into the sea, so look at what you draw from 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.
