The Bed of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم
'Aisha رضي الله عنها described the humble and modest nature of the bed of the Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه و سلم, she stated:
"The bed of the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم that he used to sleep upon was nothing other than tanned leather (tanned animal skin) padded with strands extracted from the trunks of palm trees".
[Bukhary 6454, Muslim 2082]
It is certainly thought provoking, the final messenger sent with the final revelation, the best of mankind, yet his bed is of the most humble nature imaginable.
Preparing provisions for Akhirah
Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:
"We did not appear in this worldly life to live in it like grazing animals and merely eat, drink and sleep. Rather, we came to this dunyā (the worldly life) in order to prepare provisions for the hereafter."
Fear of poverty root cause of evil and lowly desires
● Sufyān ath-Thawri رحمه الله said::
“There is no weapon for the Shaytān against the human similar to the fear of poverty. When the fear of poverty falls into the heart of a person, he prevents the truth (from being manifested), he speaks with (evil, lowly) desires and he has evil thoughts about his Lord.”
