Hazrat Umar (RA) cried

One day Umar ibn al-Khattab came into the house of the Prophet
(sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam) to find him lying on a simple mattress
which left its marks on his body. There was very little else to be
found in the room other than a few meagre articles. Seeing this stark
austerity, Hazrat Umar started to sob.

'Why are you crying, O Umar', said the Prophet.

'I thought of Caesar and Chosroes sitting on thrones of gold, wearing
silk. And you are the messenger of God, yet here you are sitting on
this simple mattress.'

'O Umar', said the Prophet, 'are you not satisfied that they have this
world and we have the next?'

Sadly, it is the SUNNAH of simplicity in living and the SUNNAH of
being detached from objects of worldly pomp and show and the SUNNAH of
giving preference to the Hereafter over the world that Muslims are
neglecting so badly in today's world.

The story is a timely reminder that we should not be busy in chasing the dunya as so many people are. Its not haram to be rich, but how you spend your wealth will be a major question on the day of resurrection.
