Hadith 1215
1215 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا حَضَرَ الْعَشَاءُ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَابْدَءُوا بِالْعَشَاءِ» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: " وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا يَقُولُ: إِذَا حَضَرَ الْعَشَاءُ إِلَّا الزُّهْرِيُّ "
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When food arrives and the iqamah for prayer has been pronounced, then eat the food first." Sufyan says: I have not heard any narrator use these words: "When food arrives"—these words have only been transmitted by Zuhri.
