EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the humility and simplicity of the Prophet Muhammad's life. Even after his death, his armor was mortgaged with a Jew for thirty measures of barley. This shows that even though he was a prophet and leader of an entire nation, he still lived a simple life without any extravagance or luxury. He did not accumulate wealth or possessions but instead chose to live modestly in order to serve as an example for others. His actions demonstrate that material wealth is not necessary in order to lead a meaningful life; rather it is important to focus on spiritual growth and development instead.
