Qatada quoted Anas as saying that the Prophet (ﷺ) never ate at a low table or from a small bowl* and that thin bread was not baked for him. Qatada was asked what they ate off and replied that it was off leather cloths. *This would have indicated pride throngh keeping himself apart, or niggardliness. Bukhari transmitted it.
وَعَن قَتَادَة عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: مَا أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى خِوَانٍ وَلَا فِي سُكُرَّجَةٍ وَلَا خُبِزَ لَهُ مُرَقَّقٌ قِيلَ لِقَتَادَةَ: على مَ يَأْكُلُون؟ قَالَ: على السّفر. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
