اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ : " مَا أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى خُوَانٍ وَلَا فِي سُكُرُّجَةٍ وَلَا خُبِزَ لَهُ مُرَقَّقٌ " ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ : فَعَلَامَ كَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ ؟ ، قَالَ : عَلَى هَذِهِ السُّفَرِ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، وَيُونُسُ : هَذَا هُوَ يُونُسُ الْإِسْكَافُ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ .
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never ate on a tray (such as a table, etc.), nor did he eat in small bowls and cups, and thin bread was never baked for him. Yunus says: I asked Qatadah: Then on what did he eat? He said: On those very dining cloths. © Imam Tirmidhi says:

Hadith Commentary:
From this hadith as well, we learn about the worldly livelihood of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), that his food was extremely simple.
There was no formality in it as is found among the people of the world.
However, among us, the custom of such elaborate feasts has become prevalent, in which, apart from extravagance, the motives of fame and ostentation are also prominent.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Maulana Abdul Ghani rahimahullah writes in the marginal notes of Sunan Ibn Majah, *Injah al-Hajah*, regarding the *khuwaan* (food table):
Eating upon it is the habit of the wealthy and the arrogant, so that they do not have to bend or lower their heads while eating.
Therefore, it can be translated as a small table or a stand, etc.
➋
*Sikrajah* refers to a small plate or dish in which chutney or similar items are placed.
This is an expression of indulgence and luxury.
The food of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was simple and easy to digest, so there was no need for chutney or the like.
➌
*Safrah* (dastarkhwan)
refers to a piece of cloth or leather that is spread out and upon which food is placed.
The Arabs, even now, are accustomed to spreading a dastarkhwan on the ground and eating upon it, instead of using tables and chairs.
