Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hadith ... that the guest should eat alone ... that it is forbidden, then he returned to his work, and some of the Salaf deduced that it is permissible for a man to come to the guest, eat before the host eats?
The Shaykh : How is that? What is this?
The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) preceded the tailor in eating; the tailor was occupied with some work.
The Shaykh : We do not have that he was occupied; read it to us.
The questioner : And in it is the permissibility of the host leaving the eating with the guest ...
The Shaykh : Wait, there is no permissibility; give us the hadith.
The questioner : Because in a narration ... from Anas in the hadith of the chapter, that a tailor was served food, then he turned to his work; he turned to his work and left him.
The Shaykh : But who narrated this? In any case, let it be that the narration is authentic; in it is evidence that it is permissible for the host to serve hospitality to his guest and then leave; it does not say that he precedes them in food, or did you not understand?
The questioner : ... the guest precedes ...
The Shaykh : I did not understand?
The questioner : It appears that he did not understand.
The Shaykh : Hmm, he is silent, or I do not know about him; yes, O Abdullah.
