2320. Sahl bin Sa'd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If the world to Allāh was equal to a mosquito's wing, then He would not allow the disbeliever to have a sip of water from it." There is something on this topic from Abū Hurairah. (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route.

Arabic text

٢٣٢٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا تَعْدِلُ عِنْدَ اللهِ جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ مَا سَقَى كَافِرًا مِنْهَا شَرْبَةَ مَاءٍ». وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

Commentary

It means that whatever good things of the world Allāh has given to those who deny His own attribute of Oneness, as well as of the Prophethood of His beloved Messenger, He has given those things to them because the world, as a whole, is entirely insignificant and valueless before Allāh.
