[Machine] I sought permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and then I entered upon him in a small room. And he was lying on a bed made of palm leaves, with some of it touching the ground and a pillow filled with palm fibers under his head. Above his head was a low-hanging curtain. On the side of the room, there was a glass of water. I greeted him and then sat down. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you are the Prophet of Allah, His chosen one, and the best of His creation. The thrones of Kisra and Caesar are nothing compared to your golden beds and silk carpets." He said, "O Umar, those people have been given their goodness quickly, and it is about to be cut off. As for us, we have been delayed, and our goodness is in the hereafter."  

اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي مَشْرُبَةٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَمُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَى خَصَفَةٍ وَأَنَّ بَعْضهُ لَعَلَى التُّرَابِ وَتَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وِسَادَةٌ مَحْشُوَّةٌ لِيفًا وَأَنَّ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ لَأَهَابٌ عَطِينٌ وَفِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَشْرُبَةِ قَرَظٌ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَصَفْوَتُهُ وَخِيرَتُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَكِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرُ عَلَى سُرُرِ الذَّهَبِ وَفُرُشِ الْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ فَقَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّ أُولَئِكَ قَدْ عُجِّلَتْ لَهُمْ طَيِّبَاتُهُمْ وَهِيَ وَشِيكَةُ الِانْقِطَاعِ وَإِنَّا قَوْمٌ قَدْ أُخِّرَتْ لَنَا طَيِّبَاتُنَا فِي آخِرَتِنَا»
