      mā ʕalimtu n-nabiyya —ṣallā llāhu ʕalayhi wasallama— ʔakala ʕalā sukurrujatin qaṭṭu, wa-lā ḵubiza la-hū muraqqaqun qaṭṭu, wa-lā ʔakala ʕalā ḵiwānin
      I never knew the Prophet—may God bless him and grant him peace—to ever eat from a side-dish plate, or to eat crumbled bread, or to eat at a table.
