EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the life of poverty and hunger that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ endured despite his companions having achieved worldly prosperity. It serves as a reminder to us that material wealth should not be our primary focus in life; rather we should strive for spiritual growth through prayer and devotion to Allah SWT. This hadith also serves as an example for us to follow in terms of humility; even though he was a prophet sent by Allah SWT, he still chose a life of simplicity over one filled with luxury. We can learn from this example that true happiness comes from within rather than from external sources such as material possessions or wealth.
