Mode of living
His house was but a hut with walls of unbaked clay and a thatched roof of palm leaves covered by camel skin. He had separate apartments for his wives, a small room for each made of similar materials. His own apartment contained a rope cot, a pillow stuffed with palm leaves , the skin of some animal spread on the floor and a water bag of leather and some weapons. These were all his earthly belongings, besides a camel, a horse, and an ass and some land which he had aquired in the later part of his life (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud). Once a few of his disciples, noticing the imprint of his mattress on his body, wished to give him a softer bed but he politely declined the offer saying,
"What have I to do with worldly things. My connection with the world is like that of a traveler resting for a while underneath the shade of a tree and then moving on."
Amr Ibn Al-Harith, a brother in law of the prophet (pbuh), says that when the prophet died, he did not leave a cent, a slave man or woman, or any property except his white mule, his weapons and a piece of land which he had dedicated for the good of the community (Bukhari, Sahih Bukhari).
He advised the people to live simple lives and himself practised great austerities. Even when he had become the virtual king of arabia, he lived an austere life bordering on privation. His wife Aiysha (ra) says that there was hardly a day in his life when he had two square meals (Muslim, Sahih Muslim, Vol.2, pg 198). When he died there was nothing in his house except a few seeds of barley left from a mound of the grain obtained from a Jew by pawning his armour (Bukhari, Sahih Bukhari, Chapter "Aljihad").
SUBHANALLAH
He had declared unlawful for himself and his family anything given by the people by way of zakat or sadaqa (types of charity). He was so particular about this that he would not appoint any member of his family as a zakat collector (Sahah-Kitab Sadqat).
It is listening to such articles which makes me wish i had less in the dunya so i can expect more in the akhira. I just dont think we need a stereo system or such comfy beds. lol simple... thats my dream. at most maybe read the newspaper to find out the events of the world and listen to sum nasheeds which have ABSOTOLUTELY NO MUSIC!!!! but even that on a rare occasion (such as eid's)
ALLAH GIVE US THE IMAAN TO FOLLOW THE PROPHETS EXAMPLE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE AMEEN!!!!!!!!!!

Daily routine
On the authority of Ali, Tirmizi has recorded that the Prophet (pbuh) had carefully apportioned his time according to the demands on him for
offering worship to Allah
public affairs, and
personal matters.
After the early morning prayers he would remain sitting in the mosque reciting praises of Allah till the sun rose and more people collected. He would then preach to them. After the sermons were over, he would talk genially with the people, enquire about their welfare and even exchange jokes with them. Taxes and revenues were also disrtibuted at this time (Muslim, Sahih Muslim Tirmizi, Sunan Tirmizi). He would then offer chaste prayers and go home and get busy with household work (Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi). He would again return to the mosque for the mid-day and afternoon prayers, listen to the problems of the people and give solace and guidance to them. After the afternoon prayers, he would visit each of his wives and, after the evening prayers, his wives would collect at one place and he would have his dinner (Muslim, Sahih Muslim). After the night prayers, he would recite some suras of the Quran and before going to bed would pray:
"O Allah, I die and live with thy name on my lips."
On getting up he would say,
"All praise to Allah Who has given me life after death and towards Whom is the return."
He used to brush his teeth five times a day, before each of the daily prayers. After midnight, he used to get up for the tahajjud prayers which he never missed even once in his life (Bukhari, Sahih Bukhari). He was not fastidious about his bed: sometimes he slept on his cot, sometimes on a skin or ordinary matress, and sometimes on the ground (Zarqani).
On friday he used to give sermons after the weekly "Jumma" prayers. He was not annoyed if anyone interrupted him during the sermons for anything. It is stated that once, while he was delivering his sermon, a bedouin approached him and said, "O messenger of Allah, I am a traveler and am ignorant of my religion." The prophet (pbuh) got down from the pulpit, explained the salient features of Islam to him and then resumed the sermon (Tirmizi, Sunan Tirmizi).
On another occasion his grandson Husain, still a child, came tumbling to him while he was delivering a sermon. He descended and took him in his lap and then continued the sermon (Ibid).

salam aleikum
Alhamdulilah we have this forum to honour our beloved prophet(salalahu alahi wa salam). Jizakalahu khairun for sharing.
It was difficult to find something wich wasn't written before, but here's one hadith:
"Whoever does not have mercy on our young ones and knows not the
right(s) of of the elder(s), is not from us"
Bukhaaree in Al-Adab Al Mufrad(353) and Al-Albanee said about it "saheeh"

asslamu alaikum
it is reported that the Holy Prophet SAWS loved his daughter Hz. Fatima the most of all his relatives. wenever Fatima(rz) visited him, he used to stand up to welcome her, and in greeting, he would place his blessed lips upon her forehead; and give her his own seat...
this is something i really fell in love with about our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAWS. how many muslim fathers of this age display affection for their daughters this way?

Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect. (translation of sura al-ahzaab, verse 56)
i love this verse. everytime i hear it, my heart shivers.
Re: Amazing facts about our Beloved Prophet Muhammad sal Allaahu 'alayhi wasalam.
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.....
(translation of the holy quran; sura al-fath, verse 29)

assalamou'alaikum wa rehmatullahi wa barakaat.
It was the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallallahu 'alahi wassallam) to make the following du'a in the witr salaat:
"...Bless me in what You have given me. And avert and turn away from me the evil that hads been decreed for me, for verily Yiu decre (all things) and none can decree against You..."Reported by At-Tirmidhi
