حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

قَالَتْ كَانَ فِرَاشُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مِنْ أَدَمٍ، وَحَشْوُهُ مِنْ لِيفٍ

The bed mattress of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was made of a leather case stuffed with palm fibres.

‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর বিছানা ছিল চামড়ার তৈরি এবং তার ভেতরে ছিল খেজুরের ছাল।

مجھ سے احمد بن رجاء نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے نضر نے بیان کیا، ان سے ہشام بن عروہ نے کہا کہ مجھے میرے والد نے خبر دی اور ان سے عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا بستر چمڑے کا تھا اور اس میں کھجور کی چھال بھری ہوئی تھی۔

Telah menceritakan kepadaku [Ahmad bin Abu Raja`] telah menceritakan kepada kami [An Nadlr] dari [Hisyam] dia berkata; telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Ayahku] dari [Aisyah] dia berkata; "Alas tidur Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam terbuat dari kulit yang dalamnya terisi serabut

Hz. Aişe r.anha "Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in döşeği tabaklanmış deriden idi. İçi de hurma lifi doluydu" demiştir

What it means

The Mother of the Believers, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), reported that the bed on which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) slept was made of tanned leather and stuffed with palm fiber, and likewise, his pillow, which he leaned against, was the same.

What it teaches

  • It illustrates the asceticism and renunciation of worldly pleasures that the Prophet (ﷺ) practiced, even though Allah Almighty had empowered him to enjoy them if he had wished to do so.
  • The permissibility of using beds and pillows, and sleeping or reclining on them.
  • A Muslim should reflect on his own condition and way of living in light of the condition of his Prophet (ﷺ), for he is the best example to follow. Whoever follows in his footsteps will be rightly guided and successful in this world and the Hereafter.
  • Keenness on being prepared for the Hereafter, and for the believer to be content with what helps him obey Allah in this world, without being preoccupied with amassing its pleasures. Allah condemned a people who did so, saying: {Competition for worldly gains distracts you [from Allah], until you come to your graves.} [Surat at-Takāthur: 1-2]
