اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ مَطْعَمَيْنِ : عَنِ الْجُلُوسِ عَلَى مَائِدَةٍ يُشْرَبُ عَلَيْهَا الْخَمْرُ ، وَأَنْ يَأْكُلَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ مُنْبَطِحٌ عَلَى بَطْنِهِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ جَعْفَرٌ مِنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، وَهُوَ مُنْكَرٌ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade two kinds of food: to sit at cloth on which wine is drunk, and to eat by a man while lying on his stomach. Abu Dawud said: Jafar did not hear this tradition from al-Zuhri. His tradition is rejected.

Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
The mentioned narration is weak in its chain of transmission; however, in authentic ahadith, lying on the stomach is generally prohibited. See: (Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi, Book of Manners, Chapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding the Dislike of Lying on the Stomach, Hadith: 2768, and Sunan Abi Dawud, Book of Manners, Hadith: 5040).
So, when would it be permissible to eat while lying in this manner? Furthermore, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has declared the mentioned narration to be hasan (good) due to other supporting evidences; therefore, despite the narration being weak in its chain, it is actionable based on other supporting evidences.
And Allah knows best.
For further details, see: (Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah, by al-Albani, no. 2394, and al-Irwa’, no. 1982).
