English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Al-Mustuarad bin Shaddad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, "This world (i.e., its pleasures and duration) in comparison with the Hereafter is (similar to the amount of water) one gets when he puts his finger in the sea. Let him then see what it returns with".

[Muslim Book 40, Chapter 14, Hadith # 6843]. 

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah An-Najm Ayat 29. Therefore withdraw (O Muhammad ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) from him who turns away from Our Reminder (this Qur’an) and desires nothing but the life of this world” This Hadith shows the value of the Hereafter and its blessings compared to the worldly life. The proportion between the two is that the former is like an ocean while the latter is like the proportion of water left on one's finger when dipped in the sea!
