بَابُ تَقْدِيمِ الْعَشَاءِ إِذَا وُضِعَ وَحَضَرِتِ الصَّلَاةُChapter: Serving Dinner When It Is Ready and the Prayer Is Present
Hadith 7384
اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا وُضِعَ عَشَاءُ أَحَدِكُمْ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلَا يَقُومُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When dinner is placed before any one of you and the call for prayer is made, he should get up only after finishing his meal.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these blessed ahadith, it becomes easy to understand how much concentration and attentiveness are required in prayer. Taking human weakness into consideration and pointing towards the real objective of prayer, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has given the instruction that in such a situation, one should eat first, so that after being free from this preoccupation, the prayer can be performed with full concentration.
