Or had any distress fallen to your lot? And he would say: By Allah, no,0 my Lord, never did I face any hardship or experience any distress. يُؤتى بأنعم أهل الدنيا من أهل النار يوم القيامة فيصبغ في النار صبغة ثم يقال: يا ابن آدم هل رأيت خيرا قط؟ هل مرَّ بك نعيم قط؟ فيقول: لا والله يا رب، ويؤتى بأشد الناس بؤساً في الدنيا من أهل الجنة، فيُصبغ صبغة في الجنّة فيقال له: يا ابن آدم هل رأيت بؤسا قط؟ هل مرّ بك شدة قط؟ فيقول: لا والله ما مرَّ بي بؤس قط، ولا رأيت شدة قط

And from Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both):
That the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by the market and the people were on his two sides, so he passed by a dead, stinking kid goat, and he reached for it and took it by the ear, then said: Which of you would like this to be his for a dirham? They said: We do not like it to be ours for anything, and what would we do with it? Then he said: Do you like it to be yours? They said: By Allah, if it were alive, it would be a defect, for it is stinking, so how is it when it is dead? He said: By Allah, this world is more contemptible to Allah than this is to you أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مرَّ بالسوق والناس كَنَفَتيه، فمرَّ بجدي أسك ميت فتناوله فأخذ بأذنه ثم قال: أيكم يحب أن يكون هذا له بدرهم ؟ فقالوا: ما نحب أنه لنا بشيء ، وما نصنع به؟! ثم قال: أتحبون أنه لكم؟ قالوا: والله لو كان حيًا كان عيبًا، إنه أَسَكّ فكيف وهو ميت، فقال: فوالله للدنيا أهون على الله من هذا عليكم
