Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا قُدِّمَ الْعَشَاءُ فَابْدَءُوا بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُصَلُّوا صَلاَةَ الْمَغْرِبِ، وَلاَ تَعْجَلُوا عَنْ عَشَائِكُمْ ".
Translation
Yahya bin Bukair narrated to us: al-Laith narrated to us, from ‘Uqail, from Ibn Shihab, from Anas bin Malik, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘When supper is served, begin with it before praying the sunset prayer, and do not rush through your supper.’
