عن جَابِرٍ رضِيَ اللهُ عنْهُ: أَنَّ رسُولَ اللهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِالسُّوقِ وَالنَّاسُ كنَفَتَيْهِ، فَمَرَّ بِجَدْيٍ أَسَكَّ مَيِّتٍ، فَتَنَاوَلَهُ، فَأَخَذَ بَأُذُنِهِ ثُمَّ قال: «أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَن يكون هَذَا لَهُ بِدِرْهَمٍ؟» فَقالوا: مَا نُحِبُّ أَنَّهُ لَنَا بِشَيْءٍ، وَمَا نَصْنَعُ بِهِ؟ قال: «أَتُحِبُّونَ أَنَّهُ لَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانَ حَيًّا كَانَ عَيْبًا، أَنَّهُ أَسَكُّ، فكَيْفَ وَهو مَيَّتٌ؟ فقالَ: «فَوَاللهِ؛ للدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلى اللهِ مِنْ هذا عَلَيْكُمْ» رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.

Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed through the marketplace with people on both his sides. He passed by a dead kid goat with small ears, took hold of it by its ear, and said: "Which of you would like to have this for a dirham?" They said: 'We would not want it for anything at all; what would we do with it?' He said: "Would you like to have it [even for free]?" They said: 'By Allah, even if it were alive it would be defective, for it has small ears; so how about now that it is dead?' He said: "By Allah, this world is more contemptible to Allah than this [dead goat] is to you." [Reported by Muslim]
