Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abu Samee'ah
Benefit: This incident was narrated by Muhammad bin Munkadir rahimahullah and some of his companions from Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah radi Allahu anhuma. On this occasion, Hazrat Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and Hazrat Umar radi Allahu anhuma were also present with the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. [ابن ماجه: 489] Hazrat Jabir radi Allahu anhu was granted the honor of presenting this food. [ابو داؤد: 191] This invitation was arranged by an Ansari woman companion radi Allahu anha, who had slaughtered a goat. [ترمذي: 80] During the meal, the time for the Zuhr prayer arrived, which the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed after making ablution (wudu), then returned and ate more food, and did not make a new ablution for the Asr prayer. [ابوداود، ترمذي]
