Musnad Abi Ya'la 2782 — We were in the presence of the Messenger

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): We were in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting on a bed woven of cords, and there was no bedding or anything between his blessed body and those cords. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had the softest skin of all people, so when he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned slightly on his side, the marks of those cords were imprinted on his blessed belly or his blessed side. Seeing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What has made you weep?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I am not weeping because (Allah forbid) I do not know that you are far more honoured with Allah than Caesar and Chosroes. Those two are absorbed in the pleasures of the world as they please, while you, being the Messenger of Allah, are in the hardship and straitened state that I see?" At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar, are you not pleased that the Hereafter is for us and only the world is for them?" He said: "Yes indeed (I am pleased with that)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then that is certainly how it is."
