39 – ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Muʿādh ibn Hishām narrated to us; my father narrated to us, from Yūnus, from Qatādah, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said:

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never ate at a dining table, nor from a small serving dish, nor was thin bread ever baked for him.”

He (the sub-narrator) said, “I asked Qatādah, ‘So what did they use to eat on?’ He replied, ‘On the sufrah,’ that is, the simple cloth spread on the ground.
