The Prophet ﷺ was once sitting with Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه, who was wearing a robe on which he used thorns as buttons at the chest. At that moment, Jabra’eel عليه السلام descended from the heavens and after conveying Allaah’s greetings to the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ He asked: “Why do I see Abu Bakr wearing a robe that he buttons at the chest with thorns?” The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “0 Jibra’eel! He had spent all his wealth on me before the conquest of Makkah (and has nothing left for himself).” Jibra’eel عليه السلام said to the Prophet ﷺ: ”Convey Allaah’s greetings to him and tell him that his Rabb asks, ‘Are you pleased with Me in this state of poverty or unpleased?’” He ﷺ turned to Abu Bakr and said: “0 Abu Bakr! Jibra’eel is here. He conveys to you the greetings from Allaah Who asks, ‘Are you pleased with Me in this state of poverty or unpleased?”’ Abu Bakr started to cry and said: “Can I ever be displeased with my Rabb? I am pleased with my Rabb! I am pleased with my Rabb!”
