Muhammad bin Umar says: The day after Friday, I went to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who was in the house of Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). Sayyida had bequeathed this house to him. When he would perform the Friday prayer, a mat and so on would be spread for him in this house, so he would go to this house and sit for the people. One day, a man asked him about performing ablution after eating food cooked on fire, while I was listening. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) raised his hand to his eyes, as he had become blind at that time, and said: These eyes of mine have seen, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ablution in a chamber, then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) called him for prayer and he set out, but when he reached the door of the chamber, a gift of bread and meat was received by him, which a companion had sent to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned with his companions, the food was laid out in the chamber, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions ate, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out with his companions for prayer, and neither the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) nor any of his companions touched water, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in prayer. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) witnessed the last practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
