"... When Umar, the commander of the believers, visited Sham, he asked his receivers, 'Where is my brother?' They said, 'Whom do you mean?' He answered, 'Abu Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah.' Abu Ubaydah came to Umar, who embraced him. Then Abu Ubaydah accompanied him to his house, wherein Umar found nothing of furniture. He found nothing other than his sword, shield and saddle. Umar asked him smiling, 'Do you not take for yourself (of furniture) what the people have taken for themselves?' Abu Ubaydah answered, 'O commander of the believers, this is enough for me, since what I have satisfies my needs.'..."
