It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord offered me that He would turn the plain of Makkah into gold for me, but I submitted: O Lord! No, I wish that I remain hungry one day and satisfied the other day, so that when I am hungry, I may humble myself and supplicate to You and remember You, and when I am satisfied, I may praise and thank You.
