The Holy Prophet (S) did  not live as a rich man, infact he distributed most of his wealth to the  poor!: Shamaa il-Tirmidhi 045 : 311 : Hadith 001      'Aayeshah  Radiyallahu 'Anha reports that the bed on which Rasulullah Sallallahu  'Alayhi Wasallam slept was made of leather, in which was filled coir of  the palm tree.    Commentary  The bed Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam used, was at  times the one made of leather as stated in the above hadith, or at times  was one that was made of canvas, as will be mentioned in the following  hadith. At times it was only a mat made of palm leaves. This subject has  been narrated in many ahaadith that when the Sahaabah Radiyallahu  'Anhum asked the permission to make a soft bed, Sayyidina Rasulullah  Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam used to reply: 'What do I have in common  with worldly comforts. My example is that of a traveller who after  walking, stops under the shadow of a tree for a while to rest, and  after sitting a while continues on his way'. Sayyiditina  'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha says: 'Once a woman from the Ansaar came and  saw that an 'abaa (cloak) was spread on the bed of Sayyidina Rasulullah  Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. She returned home and made a bed in which  she filled wool, and sent it to me for Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu  'Alayhi Wasallam. When Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam  returned and saw the bed, he inquired, 'What is this?' I replied: 'A  certain woman from the Ansaar came and after seeing the bed of  Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam she made and sent this bed'.  Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam said; 'Return it'. It  looked good to me, and I did not feel like sending it back. Rasulullah  Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam insisted that I send it back, and said: 'I swear an oath if I wish Allah Ta'aala will line up mountains of gold and silver for me'.  On this saying of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam I returned the  bed. Sayyidina 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud Radiyallahu 'Anhu says: 'I once  came to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. He was resting on a mat  made of palm leaves, the marks of which could be seen on the mubaarak  body of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. After seeing this state I  began to cry. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam  asked: 'What is the matter, why are you crying?' I replied: 'O Messenger  of Allah, these Qaysars and Kisras sleep on beds of silk and velvet,  and you on this palm mat'. Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi  Wasallam said.' 'It is not a thing to cry about. For them is the world and for us the hereafter'.  A similar incident once took place with Sayyidina 'Umar Radiyallahu  'Anhu when he came to Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam  and this same type of question and answer took place. The detailed incident is mentioned in the Sahih Bukhaari. 046 : 316 : Hadith 004      Anas  Radiyallahu 'Anhu reports: ''Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam  accepted and attended invitations where bread made of barley, and stale  fat a few days old was served (Without hesitation he accepted these  invitations). Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam had pawned his  armour to a Jew. Till the end of his life Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam did not possess a sufficient amount to release that armour'".    Commentary  When fat becomes stale it begins to smell. The serving of bread made of  barley and stale fat could be ascertained from the status of the person  or from experience, or even by the host himself saying this. Sayyidina  Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam never made an excuse in accepting  an invitation. The last sentence about the debt has been mentioned  co-incidentally as it is part of the hadith. Some 'ulama state that this  is also a sign of humility. This was the reason of his poverty.  Allah Ta'aala had given him the option of two things, if he wanted to  become a Rasul with humbleness or become a Rasul with kingdom. Sayyidina  Rasulullah Sallallhu 'Alayhi Wasallam on his own accord chose the first  one. Sahih al-Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 51, Number 2:  Narrated Amr bin Al-Harith:  (The brother of the wife of Allah's Apostle. Juwaira bint Al-Harith) When  Allah's Apostle died, he did not leave any Dirham or Dinar (i.e.  money), a slave or a slave woman or anything else except his white mule,  his arms and a piece of land which he had given in charity .  Volume 4, Book 51, Number 37:  Narrated Abu Huraira:  Allah's Apostle said, "My heirs will not inherit a Dinar or a Dirham (i.e. money), for whatever I leave (excluding the adequate support of my wives and the wages of my employees) is given in charity."  (NOTE from Author: See a similar in Sahih Muslim Book 19, Number 4355) Let the reader think with an open mind here, and see what conclusion he or she reaches.</blockquote>
