English Commentary:
1:
In this hadith, the word "hasir" is mentioned, and in the previous one, the word "khumrah" appears.
The difference is that a "khumrah" is small, and only one person can perform prayer on it, whereas a "hasir" is large and long, allowing more than one person to pray on it.
Both were made from palm leaves.
In this era, prayer mats (musalla) of various sizes are made from burlap, plastic, wool, and cotton.
Fine and exquisite carpets are also produced,
which are used in mosques and homes.
In the aforementioned hadith, there is evidence for the permissibility of these.
