عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مَثَلُ ثَوْبٍ شُقَّ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ فَبَقِيَ مُتَعَلِّقًا بِخَيْطٍ فِي آخِرِهِ فَيُوشِكُ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْطُ أَنْ يَنْقَطِعَ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ»
English translation
Anas reported God's messenger as saying, "The world is like a garment torn from end to end and hanging by a thread at the end of it; and that thread will soon be cut off." Baihaqi transmitted it in Shu'ab al-iman.
