4151 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو خَالِدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ ضِجَاعُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَدَمًا حَشْوُهُ لِيفٌ»

Commentary
It means that his bedding was not soft; made of nice cloth, filled with cotton or wool, rather it was made of leather filled with stalks of date-palm trees which was hard and rough. But due to leather, its roughness was not felt much. The Arabs used to prepare the leather simply such that it used to be neither beautiful nor costly. Therefore, leather bedding sets an example of the utmost simplicity.
