Qa'is bin Abi Hazim said:

I heard Mustawrid, a member of Banu Fihr, saying: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The world compared to the Hereafter is but like what one of you gets when placing his finger into the sea, so look at what you draw from it."

ARABIC

‏ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ مِثْلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَاذَا يَرْجِعُ ‏
