"عن عبد الرحمن بن أَبى ليلى قال: قدِم على عمر ناسٌ من العراق فرأى كأنَّهم يأكلون، فقال يا أهلَ العراقِ لو شئتُ أن يُدَهْمَقَ لِى كما يُدَهمقُ لكم لفعلتُ، ولكننا نستبقى من دُنيانا ما نجده في آخرتنا أما سمعتُم اللَّه يقولُ لقومٍ: {أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَاتِكُمْ فِى حَيَاتِكُمُ الدُّنْيَا... الآية} ".

"On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, who said: People from Iraq came to 'Umar, and he saw as if they were eating. He said: O people of Iraq, if I wished for fine food to be prepared for me as it is prepared for you, I would have done it, but we hold back from our worldly life what we will find in our Hereafter. Have you not heard Allah say to a people: {You used up your good things in your worldly life... the verse}?"
