Description of the Prophet's simple life
Tirmidhi's Shama'il 369 — Description of the Prophet's simple life
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ: «مَا شَبِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ خُبْزٍ قَطُّ وَلَا لَحْمٍ، إِلَّا عَلَى ضَفَفٍ» . قَالَ مَالِكٌ: سَأَلْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ: مَا الضَّفَفُ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ يَتَنَاوَلَ مَعَ النَّاسِ»
Malik bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never ate bread or meat to his fill alone, except with people. Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked a villager about the meaning of «ضَفَف», so he said that it means "to eat food together with people."
