1788. Yūnus narrated from Qatādah, that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ never ate on a table, nor on small plates, nor did he eat thin bread." He (Yūnus) said: "I asked Qatādah: 'So what did he eat on?' He said: 'On these leather dining sheets.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Gharīb. Muḥammad bin Bash-shār said: "This Yūnus is Yūnus Al-Iskāf." And 'Abdul-Wārith bin Sa'eed reported similarly from Sa'eed bin Abī 'Arūbah, from Qatādah, from Anas [from the Prophet ﷺ].

Commentary
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ generally sat on a leather sheet (instead of a dining table) and ate simple, single-course food. He ate bread made from coarse, unsieved flour. He disliked eating multi-course lavish food arrayed on expensive dining tables as the rich do.
