Umar bin al-Khattab (radi Allahu anhu) related: “Once I went to the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and found him lying on a mat of date palm leaves, with nothing between him and the mat. The texture of the mat left deep marks on his body, and under his head was a pillow stuffed with date bark. Upon seeing that I said, ‘O my master, pray to Allah to grant prosperity to your followers. He has bestowed riches on the people of Rome and Persia, even though they are not believers.’ But the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied, ‘O Umar, do you not prefer that they take the joys of this world and we take those of the Hereafter?’” [Bukhari]
