[Machine] Narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab, he mentioned a narration about the Prophet's seclusion from his wives. He said, "I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was lying on a mat with his Izar (lower garment) on and nothing else, and the mat had left its marks on his side. I looked inside the room of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found a handful of barley like the capacity of a Sa' (a measure of volume) and its equal (in weight) of dates in a corner. I also found a water-skin hanging there. Thereupon, my eyes shed tears, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What makes you weep, O Ibn al-Khattab?' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Why should I not weep? This mat has left its marks on your side, and I find nothing (in your room) but a handful of barley and its equal amount of dates, and this is the portion of Qaybar and Kisra in fruits and rivers (of Paradise), while you are the Messenger of Allah and the best among them.' Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Ibn al-Khattab, shouldn't you be satisfied that for us (Muslims) is the Hereafter and for them is this world?' I said, 'Indeed, yes.' And he mentioned the narration."

ibnmajah:4153 – Muḥammad b. Bashhār > ʿUmar b. Yūnus > ʿIkrimah b. ʿAmmār

“I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was (sitting) on a reed mat. I sat down and (saw that) he was wearing a waist wrap, and there was no other barrier between him and the mat but his waist wrap, and the reed mat had made marks on his side. And I saw a handful of barley, nearly a Sa’, and some acacia leaves, in a corner of the room, and a skin hanging up. My eyes flowed with tears, and he said: ‘Why are you weeping, O son of Khattab?’ I said: ‘O Prophet of Allah, why should I not weep? This mat has made marks on your side, and this is all you have accumulated, I cannot see anything other than what I see (here), while Chosroes and Caesar live among fruits and rivers. You are the Prophet of Allah and His Chosen One, and this is what you have accumulated.’ He said: ‘O son of Khattab, does it not please you (to know) that (these things) are for us in the Hereafter and for them in this world?’ He said: ‘Yes.’”
