Hazrat Abu Mulaeeh narrates that we were with Hazrat Abu Bakr, and he was about to leave for the Maghrib prayer, and the muezzin had already given the call to prayer. Meanwhile, a bowl of tharid and meat was brought. He said, "Sit and eat it, because food is made so that it may be eaten." He also ate from it, then called for water, washed his hands with it, rinsed his mouth, and then performed the prayer.
