10/42. Chapter:
(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."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا قُدِّمَ الْعَشَاءُ فَابْدَءُوا بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُصَلُّوا صَلاَةَ الْمَغْرِبِ، وَلاَ تَعْجَلُوا عَنْ عَشَائِكُمْ ".
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If the supper is served start having it before praying the Maghrib prayer and do not be hasty in finishing it."
