حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي يَعْنِي سَعَيدَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ شِعْبٍ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ وَقَدْ قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ، وَبَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا تَمْرٌ عَلَى تُرْسٍ أَوْ حَجَفَةٍ ، فَدَعَوْنَاهُ ، فَأَكَلَ مَعَنَا وَمَا مَسَّ مَاءً " .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out from the valley of a mountain where he had eased himself. There were some dried dates on a shield before us. We called him and he ate with us. He did not touch water.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Allamah Khattabi writes:
If the host has not given a prior invitation, then suddenly joining his meal is considered disliked,
unless it is clear from signs and indications that the owner of the food is offering generously.
In that case, one may join.
➋
Both of the aforementioned narrations (the one about washing the hands and the one about not washing them) are unreliable due to their weakness,
therefore, washing the hands at the time of eating is not obligatory.
However, if the hands are not clean, then washing them becomes necessary.

1:
Except for camel meat,
as is coming in the next hadith,
camel meat has a particular kind of odor and greasiness,
because of which it has been declared as something that breaks ablution (wudu),
to interpret the ablution (wudu) mentioned in this context as merely washing the hands and face is to unnecessarily divert the legal terms from their actual meaning.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
185. Commentary: By "two actions" is meant performing ablution (wudu) after eating something cooked over fire, and not performing it. In other words, the command to perform ablution in this context has been abrogated. The narration of Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma also points towards this, because Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma came to Madinah after the conquest of Makkah.

Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that ablution (wudu) is not nullified by something cooked over fire. One should invite one another, and in an invitation, as many dishes as desired—such as bread, milk, etc.—can be prepared.
