Sahih Muslim 661 (Book 5, Hadith 338) #8649
Praying with Humility

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was found praying on a mat and prostrating on it.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that he went to the Messenger of Allah and found him observing prayer on a mat and prostrating on that.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَوَجَدَهُ يُصَلِّي عَلَى حَصِيرٍ يَسْجُدُ عَلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the humility of the Prophet Muhammad when he was found praying on a mat and prostrating on it. It is an example for us to follow in our own prayers as we should strive to humble ourselves before Allah. We should also remember that prayer is not just about physical movements but also about spiritual connection with Allah. We must be mindful of our intentions and actions during prayer so that we can truly benefit from it.

The Prophet Muhammad's example shows us that even though he was the leader of his people, he still humbled himself before Allah in prayer by using a simple mat instead of something more luxurious or ornate. This teaches us to be humble in all aspects of life and not let pride get in the way of our relationship with Allah. It also reminds us that material possessions are not important when it comes to worshiping God; rather, what matters most is sincerity and humility in our hearts towards Him.
