(مَكَانَةُ الدُّنْيَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى؟)
(The status of the world in the sight of Allah Almighty?)
Hadith Number: 5157
5157 - وعن جابر - رضي الله عنه - ان رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - مر بجدي اسك ميت قال:"ايكم يحب ان هذا له بدرهم؟ فقالوا: ما نحب انه لنا بشيء! قال: فوالله للدنيا اهون على الله من هذا عليكم". رواه مسلم.
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a dead goat with small ears and said: "Who among you would like to have this for one dirham?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "We would not like to have it for anything insignificant." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! The world is more insignificant in the sight of Allah than this (dead goat) is in your sight." Narrated by Muslim.
