It is related from Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: The Prophet ﷺ saw Musab ibn Umayr approaching, clad in a sheepskin which he had tied around his waist. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Look at this man whose heart Allah has illuminated. I saw him with his parents, who nourished him with the finest food and drink; and I saw him wearing a suit of clothes which he had bought—or which had been bought for him—for two hundred dirhams. Yet love for Allah and His Messenger called him to what you see him in.” (2)
And Allah knows best.

وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عُمَرَ ﵁ قَالَ: نَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى مُصْعَبِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ مُقْبِلًا وَعَلَيْهِ إِهَابُ كَبْشٍ قَدْ تَنَطَّقَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: "انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا الَّذِي قَدْ نَوَّرَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ بَيْنَ أَبَوَيْهِ يُغَذِّيَانِهِ (١) بِأَطْيَبِ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةً شَرَاهَا، أَوْ شُرِيَتْ لَهُ، بِمِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ، فَدَعَاهُ حُبُّ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَى مَا تَرَوْنَهُ" (٢) . وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ.
