Sahih Muslim 222b (Book 1, Hadith 439) #7704
Insignificance of Man on the Day of Resurrection

SUMMARY: On the Day of Resurrection, one's presence will be insignificant compared to a white hair on a black ox or a black hair on a white ox.

The same hadith has been narrated from A'mash on the authority of the same chain of transmitters with the exception of these words: You would be no more among men (on the Day of Resurrection) but like a white hair on (the body of) a black ox, or like a black hair on (the body of) a white ox, and he made no mention of: a strip on the foreleg of an ass.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمَا قَالاَ ‏"‏ مَا أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي النَّاسِ إِلاَّ كَالشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الأَسْوَدِ أَوْ كَالشَّعْرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الأَبْيَضِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا ‏"‏ أَوْ كَالرَّقْمَةِ فِي ذِرَاعِ الْحِمَارِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the insignificance of man on the day of resurrection. It is narrated by A'mash that when we are resurrected, our presence will be so insignificant that it would be like a white hair on a black ox or like a black hair on a white ox. This means that we will not have any power or authority and our presence would not make any difference in front of Allah's might and power. We should always remember this fact and strive to do good deeds in this world so that we can receive Allah's mercy and grace in the hereafter.
