This report about Ibn Umar and supper gives a lived example linked to the same food before prayer topic. Nafi narrates that Ibn Umar once took his supper while he could hear the Imam reciting Qur'an in the Isha prayer. The text does not add a long ruling or a speech. It simply shows his action. The main point is that the meal was not treated as something to be abandoned at once when it was already being eaten.
