wasallam) happened to walk through the market coming from the side of
'Aliya and the people were on both his 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 (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) 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 detect in it as its ear is very short;
now it is dead also.' Thereupon Allah's Messenger (sallAllahu
'alyhiwasallam) said:
"By Allah, this world is more insignificant in the eye of Allah as it
(this dead lamb) is in your eye."
(Muslim :: Book 42 : Hadith 7059 )
