It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the evening meal is served and the prayer is also established, then eat the food first. Nafi’ says: Once Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was eating his evening meal and he was listening to the recitation of the Imam.
