Sahih al-Bukhari 352 (Book 8, Hadith 4) #348
Praying with One Garment

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Jabir's prayer and how he was asked why he was praying with a single Izar. He replied that it was to show it to someone like the person who asked him, as in the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) none of them had two garments.

Narrated Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir: Once Jabir prayed with his Izar tied to his back while his clothes were Lying beside him on a wooden peg. Somebody asked him, "Do you offer your prayer in a single Izar?" He replied, "I did so to show it to a fool like you. Had anyone of us two garments in the lifetime of the Prophet?"
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَاقِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ صَلَّى جَابِرٌ فِي إِزَارٍ قَدْ عَقَدَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ قَفَاهُ، وَثِيَابُهُ مَوْضُوعَةٌ عَلَى الْمِشْجَبِ قَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ تُصَلِّي فِي إِزَارٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُ ذَلِكَ لِيَرَانِي أَحْمَقُ مِثْلُكَ، وَأَيُّنَا كَانَ لَهُ ثَوْبَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the simplicity and humility of Prophet Muhammad's companions. Jabir was asked why he prayed with only one garment, to which he replied that it was to show someone like the person who asked him, as in the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad none of them had two garments. This shows us how humble they were and how they valued simplicity over extravagance. It also teaches us that we should be content with what we have and not strive for more than what is necessary for our needs. We should also remember that even though we may have more than enough material possessions, this does not mean that we are better than those who do not have as much as us; rather, it is a reminder for us to be grateful for all our blessings from Allah SWT and use them wisely in accordance with His teachings.
