Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
The meaning is that the bedding was not made of fine cloth filled with wool or cotton, but rather it was a bedding made of leather, filled with the bark of the date-palm tree, which is hard and uneven.
However, due to the leather, its hardness was not felt as much.
The people of Arabia used to prepare leather in a simple manner, which was neither very expensive nor beautiful.
In this respect, a leather bedding is an example of utmost simplicity.

Hadith Commentary:
This was the bedding and pillow of the Noble Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Today, can most of those who claim to act upon the Sunnah be content with such a life, whose luxury, if seen, might even leave Pharaoh and Haman astonished?

Explanation:

This was the state of the simple life of that noble personality who was the leader of all the messengers.
How different is today’s life of luxury from the simple life of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
If only we Muslims would take this simplicity of his as our example,
and adopt it.
