(55) Chapter: Excellence of Leading an Ascetic Life, and Virtues of Simple Life

Sahl bin Sa'd (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Were this world worth a wing of mosquito, He would not have given a drink of water to an infidel."

[At- Tirmidhi].

Commentary: This Hadith makes it clear that the world and its wealth and riches has no significance to Allah. Thus, it should not have much significance to the believers. It should be considered a means to reform the Afterlife, or a place of trial.
