Abu Dawud

Benefits and Issues:
If a Muslim’s bedding is also clean, tidy, and elegant, it is not contrary to asceticism (zuhd).

Hadith Commentary:

That is, in the future, soon you will become prosperous—truthful is the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

From this, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has derived the permissibility of using curtains or embroidered cloths. However, in the hadith of Muslim, it is mentioned that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) removed this curtain from the door and threw it away, and said that we have not been commanded to clothe mud and stones with this fabric.

Most of the Shafi'is, based on this hadith, have considered it disliked (makruh) or forbidden (haram) to hang cloth on walls.

In the narration of Abu Dawud, it is stated: "Do not cover the wall with cloth."

There is clear prohibition in this hadith. When it is forbidden to put cloth on walls, then why should it not be prohibited to place sheets or coverings on graves? Yet the ignorant have made it permissible to cover graves with the finest of coverings, which is entirely an imitation of idol-worship. Idolaters dress their idols in precious garments; grave-worshippers place expensive coverings on graves.

Then they claim to be followers of Islam.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In one narration, it is mentioned that the wife of Jabir radi Allahu anhu had a namad (felt rug). He said to his wife, "Take it away from us," but she would reply: "Did not the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say: 'Soon you will have namads (felt rugs)?'" Upon hearing this from her, I would leave it as it was. (Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Manaqib, Hadith: 3631)

(2)
From this hadith, it is understood that the use of namads (felt rugs) is permissible. If it were impermissible, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have prohibited it. However, the prohibition of silk namads is established from other ahadith, so one should avoid them.

(3)
It appears that the inclination of Imam Bukhari rahimahullah is that such adornments are permissible for the bride, but one should not transgress the limits set by the Shari‘ah.

Hadith Commentary:
In this narration, a prophecy of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is mentioned, which was proven true word for word.
Jabir bin Abdullah radi Allahu anhu himself witnessed this truth.
This is one of the important signs of Prophethood, and this is the point of relevance between this hadith and the chapter.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
This hadith is also evidence of the Prophethood of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) informed Jabir (radi Allahu anhu) that soon there would be carpets spread in your home, and indeed, just as he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, it happened accordingly.
➋
From this, it is understood that spreading carpets is permissible, and doing so does not constitute extravagance (israf), provided that it is done out of genuine need. However, to do so for wall decoration or for ostentation and display is not correct.
➌
From this, it is understood that in any permissible matter, the prediction of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) can be used as evidence for its permissibility, as Jabir’s (radi Allahu anhu) wife presented this information as proof, and Jabir (radi Allahu anhu) remained silent upon hearing it.
It should be noted that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made the aforementioned prediction on the occasion of Jabir’s (radi Allahu anhu) marriage.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Anmaat:
Anmaat is the plural of "namat."
It refers to the upper layer of a mattress made of cotton, that is, the top covering of a double-layered cloth mattress,
and it is also used for carpets and rugs.

Benefits and Issues:
In this hadith, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) foretold the acquisition of wealth and the provision of comforts as a result of conquests,
which was fulfilled word for word.
As a result of the conquests during the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (khulafa’ al-rashidun), Muslims were provided with all kinds of facilities and conveniences.

Explanation:
1:
The prophecy that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made—that Muslims would become wealthy and all luxuries and comforts would become available to them—by the grace of Allah, today Muslims are fully benefiting from this prophecy of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
From this hadith, the permissibility of keeping carpets is understood.

The prophecy of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was fulfilled very soon. The meaning of the chapter could also be that placing carpets in homes is permissible.

Benefit:
In this hadith, the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) are given glad tidings that they will achieve many conquests, the wealth of the disbelievers will come into the possession of the Companions (radi Allahu anhum), Allah Ta'ala will grant the Companions (radi Allahu anhum) abundance, and this is exactly what happened.
