Zuhd is detachment from this world in the spiritual sense and not in physical sense.
On a very hot summer day in tropical climate if you drink water with the intention of quenching your thirst but with firm belief that water does not do the job of its own but by Allah (SWT)'s permission only then you are in the state of Zuhd.

I once ended up at dinner with Hazrat Qari Amir Hasan Sahab (RA) and my Shaikh (DB). Both of them are merely half a naan (the bread, chapati made of fermented flour) together, not separately. For me this is high enough level of Zuhd.

And Allah (SWT) knows the best.

And someone with such a high sense of spiritual detachment would automatically produce a high sense of physical Zuhd. This is because they would perceive everything as having no inherent power or value thus making it obvious to part with dunya. In fact, it’d be foolish and perhaps even sinful not to part with dunya after coming to such a realization. Wallahu a’alam to them, poison and medicine are one and the same. They believe they can just as easily be cured by poison as by medicine and vice versa. All they see is Allah SWT as the Doer SWT and everything else as completely void of benefit or harm. Money, jewelry, wealth, palaces are worthless in their eyes and so they see no reason to fear destitution or loss. :subhan: Wallahu a’lam.
