ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ قَدْ كَانَتْ تُؤَثِّرُ خُشُونَةُ ضِجَاعِهِ فِي جَنْبِهِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was lying down on a bed, covered with a sheet. Some of his companions entered and Umar also entered. The Prophet ﷺ moved away and the sheet left marks on his side. Umar cried and said, "By Allah, we know that you are more honorable in the sight of Allah than Kisra and Caesar, and they have worldly power while they destroy matters, and the hereafter belongs to us." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you not pleased that they have the world and we have the hereafter?" Umar replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent.  

ابن حبّان:٦٣٦٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ عَنِ الْمُبَارَكِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ وَهُوَ مُرْمَلٌ بِشَرِيطٍ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ فَانْحَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا الشَّرِيطُ قَدْ أَثَّرَ بِجَنْبِهِ فَبَكَى عُمَرُ وَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ وَهُمَا يَعِيثَانِ فِيمَا يَعِيثَانِ فِيهِ قَالَ ﷺ «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُمَا الدُّنْيَا وَلَنَا الْآخِرَةُ؟ » قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَسَكَتَ

ahmad-zuhd:2361ʿAbdullāh from my father > Hāshim b. al-Qāsim > al-Mubārak > al-Ḥasan > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was lying down on a bed with a pillow made of tanned leather filled with palm fibres beneath his head. Some of his companions entered upon him, including Umar. The Prophet ﷺ moved slightly and Umar noticed that there was a mark on his side caused by the edge of the bed. Umar began to cry, so the Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What makes you cry, O Umar?" Umar replied, "By Allah, I do not cry except that I know you are more honorable in the sight of Allah than Kisra and Caesar, both of whom are spreading mischief in this world while you, O Messenger of Allah, are in a place like this." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you not pleased that they have the worldly life while we have the hereafter?" Umar replied, "Yes, of course." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, it is so."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٣٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ مُضْطَجِعٌ مُرْمَلٍ بِشَرِيطٍ وَتَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وِسَادَةٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَانْحَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْحِرَافَةً فَلَمْ يَرَ عُمَرُ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ وَبَيْنَ الشَّرِيطِ ثَوْبٌ قَدْ أَثَّرَ الشَّرِيطُ بِجَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَكَى عُمَرُ ؓ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟» قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَبْكِي إِلَّا أَكُونُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ وَهُمَا يَعِيْثَانِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فِيمَا يَعْيَثَانِ فِيهِ وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِالْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أَرَى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَلَنَا الْآخِرَةُ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بَلَى قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ»
