Mustawrid bin Shaddad said:
“I was riding with the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) when he came across a dead lamb that had been thrown
out.’ He
said: ‘Don’t you think that this is worthless to its
owners?’ It was
said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, it is because it is
worthless that they
have thrown it out, - or words to that effect. He
said: ‘By the One in
Whose Hand is my soul, this world is more
worthless to Allah than this
is to its owners.’”
