´It was narrated that Abu Burdah said:` “I entered upon ‘Aishah and she brought out to me a thick waist wrap of the type made in Yemen, and one of these cloaks that are called Mulabbadah,* and she swore to me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had passed away in them.”

Hadith Gradingالألبانی:صحيح | زبیر علی زئی:متفق عليه
1؎: Subhan Allah, when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sufficed with a single blanket and a single lower garment (tehband), then this example of the Messenger should remain before every believer regarding clothing. The meaning is that one should always avoid flattering the people of the world and running about aimlessly, and should adopt contentment as one's hallmark, and protect oneself from the humiliation and disgrace of going before others with requests and needs.

➌ The life of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was extremely simple.
➍ It is permissible to state something by swearing an oath for the sake of emphasis.
