Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:
People of the past would give up their comforts and riches to attain piety. However, for weak people like us who cannot make such a drastic change, then there is still a chance for us as well.
The hadith speaks of those with whom Allah Ta‘ala is pleased. They are the ones who lie on their soft cushions and beds but they still remember Allah Ta‘ala.
