(21). 3061. 'Ammār bin Yāsir said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The Mā'idah was sent down from the Heavens with bread and meat. And they were commanded to not be deceitful with it and hide it for tomorrow. So they were deceitful with it and they hid it, so it was raised up in the morning. Then they were transformed into monkeys and pigs.'" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. Abū 'Āšim and more than one narrator reported it from Sa'eed bin Abi 'Arūbah, from Qatādah, from Khilās from 'Ammār [bin Yāsir] in Mawqūf form. And we do not know of it being Marfū' except through the narration of Al-Ḥasan bin Qaza'ah.
(Another chain) from Sa'eed bin Abi 'Arūbah with similar, and he did not narrate it in Marfū' form.
This is more correct than the narration of Al-Ḥasan Qaza'ah (a narrator in no. 3061), and we do not know of the Marfū' Hadīth being connected (in its chain).

Commentary
The status of Al-Mā'idah (the table spread with food), whether it was descended or not; if it was descended how big it was, and what items of food were in it, is not clear. No authentic narration has been reported about it. [Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr]
