Narrated Qatada: We were in the company of Anas whose baker was with him. Anas said, The Prophet did not eat thin bread, or a roasted sheep till he met Allah (died).

Hadith Commentary:

In the hadith, the word "masmuta" is used, meaning a goat whose hair is removed with hot water, then it is roasted along with its skin. This is done with a young (small) goat because its meat is tender. This is an act of worldly, arrogant people.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Muraqqaq refers to thin bread made from fine flour. Among the Arabs, there was no sieve available for sifting flour, so they would prepare bread from unsifted flour; this was also due to their simplicity.
(2)
Ibn Battal has stated that thin bread made from fine flour is permissible and lawful, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), due to his asceticism and lack of desire for worldly things, did not eat thin chapati made from fine flour; rather, he preferred whatever was available to him. ( ‘Umdat al-Qari: 396/14)
(3)
Anas (radi Allahu anhu) had a servant who would prepare the best food for him and make various kinds of curry; in addition, he would knead flour with ghee and prepare bread. Therefore, the use of chapati is permissible. ( Fath al-Bari: 658/9)
