Sahih al-Bukhari 380 (Book 8, Hadith 32) #376
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Leading Prayer After Meal

SUMMARY: This hadith is about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) being invited to a meal by Mulaika, his grandmother, and then leading the people in prayer.

Narrated 'Is-haq: Anas bin Malik said, "My grandmother Mulaika invited Allah's Messenger for a meal which she herself had prepared. He ate from it and said, 'Get up! I will lead you in the prayer'. " Anas added, "I took my Hasir, washed it with water as it had become dark because of long use and Allah's Messenger stood on it. The orphan (Damira or Ruh) and I aligned behind him and the old lady (Mulaika) stood behind us. Allah's Messenger led us in the prayer and offered two rak'at and then left".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ، مُلَيْكَةَ دَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِطَعَامٍ صَنَعَتْهُ لَهُ، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قُومُوا فَلأُصَلِّ لَكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى حَصِيرٍ لَنَا قَدِ اسْوَدَّ مِنْ طُولِ مَا لُبِسَ، فَنَضَحْتُهُ بِمَاءٍ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَصَفَفْتُ وَالْيَتِيمَ وَرَاءَهُ، وَالْعَجُوزُ مِنْ وَرَائِنَا، فَصَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ‏.‏

This hadith tells us about the exemplary character of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He was invited to a meal by his grandmother Mulaika and he accepted her invitation with humility and gratitude. After eating from the meal, he stood up to lead everyone in prayer. Anas bin Malik said that he took his Hasir, washed it with water as it had become dark because of long use and Allah's Messenger ﷺ stood on it. The orphan Damira or Ruh and I aligned behind him and the old lady Mulaika stood behind us. Allah's Messenger ﷺ led us in the prayer and offered two rak'ats before leaving. This hadith teaches us that we should always be humble when accepting invitations from others, no matter who they are or what their social status is; we should also be grateful for whatever we receive from them as well as show respect for our elders at all times; finally, we should never forget to pray even after having meals or engaging in other activities since this is an important part of our faith which must not be neglected under any circumstances.
