BE A TRANSIENT IN THE WORLD H 487 "The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, slept on a mat and when he arose the impression of the mat was visible on his body. We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, shall we prepare a soft mattress for you?' He replied: 'What have I to do with this world? In the world I am like a rider who stops under the shade of a tree for awhile, then passes on, leaving it behind.'" R 487 Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abdullah, the son of Mas'ud who related this hadith.
485- وعن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : نَامَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم عَلَى حَصيرٍ ، فَقَامَ وَقَدْ أثَّرَ في جَنْبِهِ ، قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَوْ اتَّخَذْنَا لَكَ وِطَاءً . فَقَالَ : "مَا لِي وَلِلدُّنْيَا ؟ مَا أَنَا في الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ كَرَاكِبٍ اسْتَظَلَّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ ثُمَّ رَاحَ وَتَرَكَهَا" رواه الترمذي ، وقال : "حديث حسن صحيح" .
