Once, Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) passed by a dead kid-goat with small ears. He asked the Sahaabah who among them would take the dead kid-goat for a dirham (silver coin). The Sahaabah (Radhiyallahu anhum) replied that they would not take it even gratis. Upon this response, Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) remarked:
“Wallah! This world is more contemptible to Allah than this [dead goat] is to you.”
