(What should one do) if the meal has been served and the Iqama has been pronounced for As-Salat(the prayer)
وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَبْدَأُ بِالْعَشَاءِ. وَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ مِنْ فِقْهِ الْمَرْءِ إِقْبَالُهُ عَلَى حَاجَتِهِ حَتَّى يُقْبِلَ عَلَى صَلاَتِهِ وَقَلْبُهُ فَارِغٌ.And Ibn 'Umar used to start with the supper first. Abu Ad-Darda' said, "It is a sign of comprehension (of a person) to fulfil or turn to his needs first so as to offer prayer attentively with a clear mind."
