263. Muhammad ibn ʿAmr al-Bāhilī narrated to us; he said: Muʿādh ibn Hishām told me, saying: my father narrated to us, from Yūnus, from Qatādah, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said:

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never ate at a khiwān (raised dining table), nor from a sukkurrujah (small serving dish), and no thin bread was ever baked for him.” ⦗159⦘ I asked, “Then what did they use to eat on?” He replied, “On a sufra (a spread-out food mat).”
