The Prophet's Simple Bed

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had a simple bed made of tanned skin stuffed with palm-fibres.

Narrated 'Aishah: "The only bed that the Messenger of Allah had which he slept was made of a tanned skin stuffed with palm-fibres". Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. He Said: There are narrations on thus topic from Hafsah and Jabir.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا كَانَ فِرَاشُ النَّبِيِّ الَّذِي يَنَامُ عَلَيْهِ أَدَمٌ حَشْوُهُ لِيفٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ وَجَابِرٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the simplicity and humility of the beloved Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He was known for his modesty and humbleness in all aspects of life. Even his bed was simple and humble - made from a tanned skin stuffed with palm-fibres. This is an example for us to follow in our own lives - that we should be content with what we have and not strive for more than necessary. We should also remember that material possessions are not important; rather it is our character and actions that will be remembered by others after us.
