12 – Isḥāq ibn Ismāʿīl narrated to us; he said: Sufyān narrated to us, from Ismāʿīl, from Qays, who heard him say: al-Mustawrid al-Fihrī informed us that he heard the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) say, “By Allah, this present world, in comparison with the Hereafter, is no more than what one of you would find after dipping his finger into the sea—let him look at what it brings back.”
١٢ - ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُسْتَوْرِدُ الْفِهْرِيُّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «وَاللَّهِ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا مِثْلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ، فَلْيَنْظُرُ مَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ»
