Al-Tirmidhi narrates in his Shama'il with an authentic chain that a Bedouin by the name of Zahir Al-Aslami was one day selling in the marketplace. The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa salam) crept up behind him and wrapped his arms around Zahir, raising his voice and yelling "Who will purchase this slave?"
Zahir looked back at the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) and said "You will find me not worth much, Oh Messenger of Allah."
The Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa salam) corrected his self perception by saying "But you are, in the sight of Allah, expensive."

Re: "But you are, in the sight of Allah, expensive."
Aaa, imagine the Messenger of Allah, sall-Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam, wrapping his mubarak hands aorund you! And not only that: telling you that you're expensive in the sight of Allah!
May Allah be pleased with this great sahabi.
In times of difficulties don't ever say, "Allah, I have a big problem!", say "Hey problem, I have a big Allah!"
