3334. It was narrated that the two sons of Busr, who were of the tribe of Sulaim, said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon us. We placed a velvet cloth of ours beneath him and sprinkled water on it.[1] He sat on it, and Allāh sent down Revelation to him in our house. We offered him butter and dates, and he ﷺ liked butter." (Sahih)
3334 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ ابْنَيْ بُسْرٍ السُّلَمِيَّيْنِ قَالَا: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَضَعْنَا تَحْتَهُ قَطِيفَةً لَنَا، صَبَبْنَاهَا لَهُ صَبًّا، فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيَ فِي بَيْتِنَا، وَقَدَّمْنَا لَهُ زُبْدًا، وَتَمْرًا، وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ الزُّبْدَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "

a. The Prophet ﷺ did not give any importance to the affectations. Hence, he sat over the sheet spread on the ground; neither did he demand a bed nor did he ask to spread the sheet in a different way. b. Butter is a good and healthy food, dates also are very nourishing; eating them together enhances their advantages. c. Avoiding good food is not asceticism but staying away from forbidden provisions is real asceticism.
