«فإذا هو على حصير ما بينه وبينه شيء، وتحت رأسه وسادة من أدم حشوها ليف، وعند رجليه قرظ مصبوب وعند رأسه أهب معلقة، فرأيت أثر الحصير في جنبه فبكيت، فقال: ما يبكيك؟ فقلت: إن كسرى وقيصر فيما هما فيه وأنت رسول الله، فقال: أما ترضى أن تكون لهم الدنيا ولنا الآخرة»

Summary
In the Book of Marriage, the chapter on vows of abstinence: Umar reports climbing to the Prophet ﷺ's upper room during the episode of his withdrawal from his wives, and describes its furniture and simple household items. He answers, "Are you not content that they have this world and we have the Hereafter?" It is the clearest text in the Sahih on the asceticism of the Prophet's house. 1
