I have heard one as well do i think it was in a lecture by Bilal Asad

Where he mentioned

The Deen to the true believer is like the crown on his head (like a king) and the dunya was on the palm of their hands.If when the crown on the head would tilt a bit.. They would put the dunya on the ground.. fix the crown (deen) and then would pick the dunya back up in their hands again.
