Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يُونُسَ ـ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ هُوَ الإِسْكَافُ ـ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ مَا عَلِمْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَكَلَ عَلَى سُكُرُّجَةٍ قَطُّ، وَلاَ خُبِزَ لَهُ مُرَقَّقٌ قَطُّ، وَلاَ أَكَلَ عَلَى خِوَانٍ‏.‏ قِيلَ لِقَتَادَةَ فَعَلَى مَا كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ قَالَ عَلَى السُّفَرِ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAli ibn ʿAbdullah narrated to us: Muʿadh ibn Hisham narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to me, from Yunus—ʿAli said, “He was the shoemaker”—from Qatadah, from Anas, may God be pleased with him, who said: “I do not know that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ever ate from a small dish, or that fine bread was ever baked for him, or that he ever ate at a table.” Qatadah was asked, “What did they eat from?” He said, “From leather dining spreads.”
