(The Proportion of This World to the Hereafter) And likewise its comparison to the shade of the tamarisk tree in the time of heat, as said by the rider: This, even if the wing of a mosquito were weighed in the scale of the True God,

The Shaykh : He said: "And likewise its comparison" meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
"To the shade of the tamarisk tree in the time of heat, as said by the rider" Tamarisk means a large tree under which the rider took shelter, then he stood up and left it, taking shelter only from the heat.
He said: "This, even if the wing of a mosquito were weighed in the scale of the True God,
it would not have been given to a disbeliever a single sip of water, and the truth would have been in deprivation"
Truly, if this world were equal to the wing of a mosquito in the sight of Allah, He would not have given His enemies a single sip of water from it.
