Chapter 41 · Zuhdحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمُسْتَوْرِدَ أَخَا بَنِي فِهْرٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: مَا مَثَلُ الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ، إِلَّا مَثَلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ .
