Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ أَخِي بَنِي فِهْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا كَمِثْلِ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ هَذِهِ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَا يَرْجِعُ وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, he said: Isma'il ibn Abi Khalid told us, from Qays, from al-Mustawrid, brother of Banu Fihr, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "This world compared to the Hereafter is only like when one of you puts this finger of his into the sea; let him see what it comes back with" — and he pointed with his index finger.
