744/962 (صحيح) عن جابر بن عبد الله: ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مر في السوق داخلا من بعض العالية- والناس كنفيه، فمر بجدي اسك(1) [ميت]، فتناوله فاخذ باذنه، ثم قال:"ايكم يحب ان هذا له بدرهم؟" فقالوا: ما نحب انه لنا بشيء، وما نصنع به؟ قال:"اتحبون انه لكم؟". قالوا: لا. (قال ذلك لهم ثلاثا). فقالوا: لا والله! لو كان حيا لكان عيبا فيه انه اسك(والاسك الذي ليس له اذنان) فكيف وهو ميت؟ قال:" فوالله، للدنيا اهون على الله من هذا عليكم".
744/962 (Sahih) From Jabir ibn Abdullah: That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed through the market entering from some part of al-‘Aliyah—and the people were around him—so he passed by a dead, deformed kid [ميت] , and he took hold of it by its ear, then said: "Which of you would like to have this for a dirham?" They said: We would not like to have it for anything; what would we do with it? He said: "Would you like to have it for yourselves?" They said: No. (He said that to them three times.) They said: No, by Allah! If it were alive, it would be a defect in it that it is deformed (and the deformed is the one without ears), so how about when it is dead? He said: "By Allah, the world is more insignificant to Allah than this is to you."
