4111. Mustawrid bin Shaddād said: "I was riding with the Messenger of Allāh 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 Allāh, 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 Allāh than this is to its owners.'" (Hasan)

4111 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُسْتَوْرِدُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ، قَالَ: إِنِّي لَفِي الرَّكْبِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى سَخْلَةٍ مَنْبُوذَةٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «أَتُرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا» قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ هَوَانِهَا، أَلْقَوْهَا، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ: قَالَ: «فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا»
