Jami at-Tirmidhi 80 (Book 1, Hadith 80) #25645
Eating Before Praying Without Wudu

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) visited a woman from the Ansar and ate from her food. He then prayed Zuhr and Asr without performing Wudu in between.

Jabir narrated: "Allah's Messenger went out and I went with him. He entered upon a woman from the Ansar. She slaughtered a sheep and he ate from it; and she brought a basket with ripe dates and he ate from it. Then he performed Wudu for Zuhr and prayed. Then he finished, so she brought him something from the remainder of the sheep. So he ate it, then prayed Asr and did not perform Wudu".
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَذَبَحَتْ لَهُ شَاةً فَأَكَلَ وَأَتَتْهُ بِقِنَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ لِلظُّهْرِ وَصَلَّى ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَتَتْهُ بِعُلاَلَةٍ مِنْ عُلاَلَةِ الشَّاةِ فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَبِي رَافِعٍ وَأُمِّ الْحَكَمِ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَأُمِّ عَامِرٍ وَسُوَيْدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَلاَ يَصِحُّ حَدِيثُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ مِنْ قِبَلِ إِسْنَادِهِ إِنَّمَا رَوَاهُ حُسَامُ بْنُ مِصَكٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ وَالصَّحِيحُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ هَكَذَا رَوَى الْحُفَّاظُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ مِثْلِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ رَأَوْا تَرْكَ الْوُضُوءِ مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارُ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا آخِرُ الأَمْرَيْنِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ وَكَأَنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ نَاسِخٌ لِلْحَدِيثِ الأَوَّلِ حَدِيثِ الْوُضُوءِ مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's visit to a woman from the Ansar, an Arab tribe that helped him during his time of need. During this visit, he ate some of her food before praying Zuhr and Asr without performing wudhu in between. This teaches us that it is permissible to eat before prayer without having to perform wudhu first, as long as one does not have any impurities on their body or clothes. It also shows us how generous and kind the Prophet was towards his companions, even when they were not related by blood or marriage. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of hospitality in Islam; even if one has little to offer, they should still be generous with what they have and welcome guests into their home with open arms.
