Umar b. al-khattab said: 'I entered the Messenger's house and I found him sitting on a mat. He had a leather pillow stuffed with fibers. He had a pot of water by his feet, and there was some clothes hung on the wall. His side had marks due to the mat that he lay on. Umar wept when he saw this, and the Messenger (PBUH) asked him:'Why do you weep?' Umar said: 'O Prophet of God! Khosrau and Caesar enjoy the best of this world, and you are suffering on poverty?!' He said: ' Aren't you pleased that they enjoy this world, we will enjoy the Hereafter?' (Bukhari #4629)
From Muhammad The Messenger of Allah by Abdurrahman Al-Sheha
