The Prophet rested on a mat bed
Hadith 328
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ زِيَادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْبَصْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سُئِلَتْ عَائِشَةُ، مَا كَانَ فِرَاشُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِكِ؟ قَالَتْ: «مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهُ مِنْ لِيفٍ»وَسُئِلَتْ حَفْصَةُ، مَا كَانَ فِرَاشُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِكِ؟ قَالَتْ: مِسْحًا نَثْنِيهِ ثَنِيَّتَيْنِ فَيَنَامُ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ قُلْتُ: لَوْ ثَنَيْتَهُ أَرْبَعَ ثَنْيَاتٍ لَكَانَ أَوْطَأَ لَهُ فَثَنَيْنَاهُ لَهُ بِأَرْبَعِ ثَنْيَاتٍ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ: «مَا فَرَشْتُمْ لِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ» قَالَتْ: قُلْنَا: هُوَ فِرَاشُكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا ثَنَيْنَاهُ بِأَرْبَعِ ثَنْيَاتٍ، قُلْنَا: هُوَ أَوْطَأُ لَكَ قَالَ: «رُدُّوهُ لِحَالَتِهِ الْأُولَى، فَإِنَّهُ مَنَعَتْنِي وَطَاءَتُهُ صَلَاتيَ اللَّيْلَةَ»
Ja'far bin Muhammad narrates from his father (Muhammad al-Baqir, may Allah have mercy on him), who said that Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked, "What was the bedding of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) like in your house?" She replied: "It was made of leather stuffed with palm fibers." Similarly, Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked, "What was the bedding of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) like in your house?" She replied: "It was a coarse woolen cloth (tat) which we would fold in two and spread under the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." She says that one day I thought that if we made four layers instead of two, it would be more comfortable. So we made it four layers. When morning came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What bedding did you spread for me last night?" We said: "It was the same bedding as yours, but we made it four layers, thinking it would be more comfortable for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Return it to its original state. Sleeping on it deprived me of the night prayer."
