Is praying on the ground better than on mats?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it better to pray on the ground or on mats?

Answer:
The original practice is the ground, and it is the better option. The ground is better. However, when people became comfortable and their circumstances changed, they needed mats so that they would not abandon praying in congregation.
