It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), after relieving himself, would come out without performing ablution and begin reciting the Noble Qur'an. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would also eat meat with us, and nothing except major ritual impurity (janabah) would prevent him from reciting the Qur'an.
