Millions of Salaam be upon the contentment of Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم spent all his life showing patience and contentment. The Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would receive massive treasures in the form of war spoils. However, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would distribute all of it amongst the Muslims. Sayyiduna Abu Huraira رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ narrates: The family of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never ever ate to their fill for 3 (consecutive) days to the extent that the Beloved Prophet
صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم departed from this world, (Bukhari, vol. 3, pp. 520, Hadees 5374)

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would rest on a mat and he would place his blessed head on a leather pillow filled with date skin. (Sharh Zurqaani, vol. 5,
