Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Mu‘adh ibn Hisham narrated to me: my father narrated to me, from Yunus, from Qatadah, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never ate at a dining tray, nor from a small bowl, and thin bread was never baked for him. He [Yunus] said: I asked Qatadah, ‘Then what did they eat on?’ He replied, ‘On these travel mats.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan gharīb (good, though rare). Muhammad ibn Bashshar said: This Yunus is Yunus al-Iskaf. ‘Abd al-Warith ibn Sa‘id also reported something similar from Sa‘id ibn Abi ‘Arubah, from Qatadah, from Anas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
