EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the burial of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is narrated by 'Aisha that when he passed away, he was shrouded in three pieces of cloth and neither a shirt nor a turban were used. This shows us how simple and humble his burial was despite his status as a prophet and leader. It also teaches us to not get too attached to material possessions even after death as it does not benefit us in any way. We should instead focus on our deeds while we are alive so that we can reap its rewards in the afterlife. Furthermore, this hadith also serves as an example for Muslims to follow when burying their loved ones; it teaches us to keep things simple and humble during such times instead of going overboard with expensive items or clothing which will eventually decay anyway.
