وعن النعمان بن بشير
رضي الله عنهما، قال: ذكر عمر ابن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه، ما أصاب الناس من الدنيا، فقال: لقد رأيت رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، يظل اليوم يتلوى ما يجد من الدقل ما يملأ به بطنه
Umar ibn al-Khattab (radiyallahu anhu) spoke at length regarding the worldly prosperity that people had achieved and said: “I saw that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would pass his days in hunger and could not get even degraded dates to fill his stomach”.
