Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8129 — When the prayer and the evening meal

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When food is placed before you and the prayer is established, eat first, and do not hurry to finish the meal." Nafi' says: When food was placed before Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and, on the other hand, the prayer was established, he would not go to the prayer until he had finished eating, even though he could hear the imam's recitation in the meantime.
