Riyad as-Salihin, 476
Sahl bin Sa'd (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Were this world worth a wing of mosquito, He would not have given a drink of water to an infidel." <b>[At- Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan Sahih]</b>.
وعن سهل بن سعد الساعدى، رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم :
لو كانت الدنيا تعدل عند الله جناح بعوضة ما سقى كافرا منها شربة ماء
((رواه الترمذي . وقال حديث حسن صحيح))

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The worldly life is so insignificant in the sight of Allah Almighty, even less in worth than the wing of a mosquito.<br>
2) The true worth of the worldly life lies in making it a path to the Hereafter, not in making it an abode that you furnish as if you will remain in it forever while deserting the Hereafter as if you are heedless of it.
