It suffices, on the issue of zuhd, to relate what has been reported by al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and others, on the authority of Abu Umamah, that the Prophet s.a.w. said: "My Lord offered me the land of Makkah in its gold and silver equivalent. I said: "No, Lord, rather I satiate myself with food one day and stay hungry another day, so that, when I am hungry I turn to You beseechingly and remember You, and when I eat to my full satisfaction I praise and thank You."
Al-Tirmidhi said it was a good (hasan) hadith.
The Prophet was given the choice to be a 'king prophet', but he chooses to be a 'servant prophet' (a moderate one). What about you?
