أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمُسْتَوْرِدَ أَخَا بَنِي فِهْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
«مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَمَا يَضَعُ أَحَدُكُمْ أُصْبُعَهُ السَّبَّابَةَ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ»
