Sahih al-Bukhari 860 (Book 10, Hadith 251) #831
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Leading Prayer After Meal

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) being invited to a meal by Anas bin Malik's grandmother and then leading the prayer afterwards.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: My grandmother Mulaika invited Allah's Messenger for a meal which she had prepared specially for him. He ate some of it and said, "Get up. I shall lead you in the prayer". I brought a mat that had become black owing to excessive use and I sprinkled water on it. Allah's Messenger stood on it and prayed two rak'at; and the orphan was with me (in the first row), and the old lady stood behind us.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ، مُلَيْكَةَ دَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِطَعَامٍ صَنَعَتْهُ، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ قُومُوا فَلأُصَلِّيَ بِكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى حَصِيرٍ لَنَا قَدِ اسْوَدَّ مِنْ طُولِ مَا لُبِسَ، فَنَضَحْتُهُ بِمَاءٍ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالْيَتِيمُ مَعِي، وَالْعَجُوزُ مِنْ وَرَائِنَا، فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ‏.‏
