Question:
Regarding the actions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in terms of his bed and his food, can it be said that it is a recommended practice if a person does them occasionally?
Answer:
This is part of humility, without a doubt, and of breaking one's ego. If a person does some things that contradict luxury occasionally, to break his ego and accustom himself to activity and to roughness, yes...
May Allah expand for him, and you should expand, just as 'Umar said: "When Allah expands for you, expand." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encountered something that Allah made easy for him, in his marriage to Zaynab, he placed a lot of meat and a lot of food, and he invited the common people, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him.
