What is the meaning of al-khawan and the ruling on eating on it?

Question:
It is taken from it - the hadith: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not eat on a khawan until he died..." - the dislike of eating on a khawan?

Answer:
That is what is apparent; because it is an act of omission.
Q: Is the khawan intended to be what is raised?
A: What I understand is that it is the thing that is raised, but the author of "al-Qamus" did not elaborate...... The tray on which food is placed is called a khawan, like a tray of any kind is called a khawan, and the commentator's statement: "He did not eat on a khawan," this is what is intended, it is placed on the tray, and food is placed on it, this existed in his time (peace and blessings be upon him), but the most apparent -and Allah knows best- is what was known among the non-Arabs of placing (things) raised, they sit on chairs, just as many people do now, they eat while sitting on chairs which are raised, this occurred among people when they mixed with the non-Arabs, and mixed with the outsiders, this entered upon them.
