Sahl bin Saad reported,

We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Dhul Hulayfah when he came upon a dead sheep with its leg raised in the air. He said, "Do you see how worthless this is to its owner? By the One in whose hand my soul rests, this world is more worthless to Allah than this carcass is to its owner. If this world were worth the wing of a mosquito to Allah, He would never have given a disbeliever even a single sip of water from it."

عن سهل بن سعد قال

كنا مع رسول الله ﷺ بذي الحليفة، فإذا هو بشاة ميتة شائلة برجلها، فقال: أترون هذه هينة على صاحبها؟ فوالذي نفسي بيده! للدنيا أهون على الله من هذه على صاحبها، ولو كانت الدنيا تزن عند الله جناح بعوضة، ما سقى كافرا منها قطرة أبدا.
