The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasalaam) said, For a man he has a bed for himself, one for his wife, the third for a guest and the fourth is for Shaytan. (Muslim, 5190) Commentary: This hadith was recorded by Imam Muslim under the chapter labeled Disapproval of keeping more bedding and clothes than are genuinely needed. This is a great reminder for all of us to keep the dunya in perspective, and that our true goal of the akhira should never be forgotten. There is nothing in our religion that encourages poverty but many encouragements for a simple life without extravagance and much importance put on helping others. This is an important concept to understand.
