Umar Al Khattab (RA): I am just a man from amongst the Muslims

Umar b. Al-Khattâb (Radiallahu anhu) said:

Nothing is permitted for ‘Umar from the wealth of Allâh except two garments: one for winter and one for summer [heat], and what I need to carry me to Hajj and ‘Umrah.

And the provisions for my family are that of an [average] man of the Quraysh: neither the richest nor the poorest amongst them.

After that, I am just a man from amongst the Muslims.


~ Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA)
