Sahih Muslim 559a (Book 5, Hadith 82) #8397
Eating Before Praying

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised people to take their supper before praying and not to rush into prayer.

Ibn 'Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah said: When the supper is served to any one of you and the prayer also begins. (in such a case) first take supper, and do not make haste (for prayer) till you have (taken the food).
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ح، قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا وُضِعَ عَشَاءُ أَحَدِكُمْ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَابْدَءُوا بِالْعَشَاءِ وَلاَ يَعْجَلَنَّ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that when it is time for iftaar, or breaking the fast, and salaah, or prayer, we should first take our supper before rushing into prayer. He advised us to not be in a hurry and instead enjoy our meal first. This hadith teaches us the importance of taking care of our physical needs as well as spiritual ones. It also reminds us that we should not neglect one for the other but rather balance them both in order to live a healthy life.
