What was the dwelling of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, like, and should a Muslim strive to obtain all the components of happiness mentioned in the Hadith?
Among what has been reported regarding the description of the dwelling of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, is what Al-Bukhari narrated in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad with an authentic chain of transmission from Dawud ibn Qais, who said: "I saw the chambers made of palm branches, covered from the outside with haircloth. The width of the house from the door of the chamber to the door of the house was about six or seven cubits, and the inner house was ten cubits. Its height was between eight and seven cubits, approximately, and Aisha's door faced west." This indicates his humility, peace and blessings be upon him. There is no harm in striving to acquire permissible things, knowing that faith and righteous deeds are the foundation of absolute happiness in this world and the hereafter. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was an ascetic, yet he was the happiest of people.
