Sahih al-Bukhari 5404 (Book 70, Hadith 32) #5178
Eating with Teeth and Praying without Ablution

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) ate with his teeth and then got up to pray without performing ablution again.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet ate of the meat of a shoulder (by cutting the meat with his teeth), and then got up and offered the prayer without performing the ablution anew.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ تَعَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ كَتِفًا، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى، وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Eat with your teeth while in a state of ritual purity
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's practice of eating with his teeth and then getting up to pray without performing ablution again. This shows us that it is permissible to eat with one's teeth while in a state of ritual purity. It also teaches us that we can perform our prayers even if we have not performed ablution beforehand. We should remember that this was only done by the Prophet Muhammad himself and should not be taken as a general rule for all Muslims. We must still perform ablution before prayer in order to maintain proper hygiene and spiritual cleanliness.
