[www.keralites.net] The Insignificance Of the World as compared to a Dead Lamb! (S Muslim)

Allah's Apostle {peace be upon him}

 

happened to walk through the bazar coming from the side of 'Aliya' and the people were on both sides.

 

There he found a dead lamb with very short ears.

He took hold of his ear and said:-

 

"Who amongst you would like to have this for a dirham? "

 

They said: We do not like to have it even for less than that as it is of no use to us.

 

He{peace be upon him}said:-

 

Do you wish to have it (free of any cost)?

They said:-

By Allah, even if it were alive we would not have liked to possess that, for there is defect in it as its ear is very short; now it is dead also.

 

Thereupon Allah's Messenger {peace be upon him} said: ----

 

"By Allah, this world is more insignificant in the eye of Allah as it .

(this dead lamb) is in your eye."

 

 

(Kitab Al-Zuhd wa Al-Raqaiq)'

 

Sahih Muslim.Book 042, Number 705

 

 

My 'Salaams' to All!

 

"Never Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah"
