مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِجَدْيٍ أَسَكَّ مُلْقًى عَلَى مَزْبَلَةٍ مَيْتاً فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ كَمْ يُسَاوِي هَذَا فَقَالُوا لَعَلَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ حَيّاً لَمْ يُسَاوِ دِرْهَماً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذَا الْجَدْيِ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> passed by an earless goat who had been thrown upon the rubbish heap, dead. So he<sup>saww</sup> said to his<sup>saww</sup> companions: ‘How much would this one be worth when alive?’ So they said, Perhaps, if he was alive, it would not equate to a Dirham’. So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘By the One<sup>azwj</sup> in Whose Hand is my<sup>saww</sup> soul! This world is worth less to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> than this goat is upon its owners’.
