Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) eat food cooked on fire. He performed the prayer before renewing his ablution. After the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I saw Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) eat something cooked on fire, then perform the prayer before renewing his ablution. Then after Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), I saw Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) eat something cooked on fire and he did not renew his ablution and performed the prayer.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate meat. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) were with him. Then these gentlemen stood up to perform prayer and they did not perform ablution again. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once I was with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) (this was during his caliphate), he ate food and stood up to perform prayer and did not perform ablution again. Then once I was with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) (this was during his caliphate), he ate food from a bowl and then stood up and performed prayer and did not perform ablution again.
