حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " خَرَجَ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ ، فَقُدِّمَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامٌ ، فَقَالُوا : أَلَا نَأْتِيكَ بِوَضُوءٍ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ بِالْوُضُوءِ إِذَا قُمْتُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out from the privy and was presented to him. They (the people) asked: Should we bring you water for ablution? He replied: I have been commanded to perform ablution when I get up for prayer.

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi

Benefits:
➊ There is consensus among the scholars on this issue that for a person without ablution (wudu), it is permissible to eat, drink, remember Allah (dhikr), recite the Qur'an, and engage in marital relations (jimaa’), and performing any of these acts without ritual purity is not disliked (makruh). [نووي: 68/4]
➋ Performing ablution (wudu) after eating or drinking is neither obligatory nor recommended (mustahabb). Similarly, after one's ablution is nullified, it is not necessary to immediately perform ablution again; rather, ablution is a condition for the validity of prayer (salah), and performing ablution is obligatory (fard) for the performance of prayer.
