Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 962

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed through the market, entering from some part of al-ʿĀliyah, with people on both sides of him. He passed by a dead kid with short ears. He reached for it, took hold of its ear, then said, "Which of you would like this for a dirham?" They said, "We would not like it for anything. What would we do with it?" He said, "Would you like it to be yours?" They said, "No." He said that to them three times, and they said, "No, by Allah. Even if it were alive, it would have a defect in that it has short ears; the short-eared one is the one whose ears are cut off. How about when it is dead?" He said, "By Allah, the world is more insignificant to Allah than this is to you."
