Q197: The questioner asks: What is the authenticity of this hadith: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 354Sahih (Darussalam) and what is its meaning?
A197: The hadith is authentic; because if a person enters the prayer while in need of the meal or food, his soul is preoccupied with the food, and that distracts him from the humility in his prayer.
When the supper is presented and the Iqamah is called for Salat, then begin with the supper.
إذا وضع العشاء وأقيمت الصلاة، فابدأوا بالعشاءA197: The hadith is authentic; because if a person enters the prayer while in need of the meal or food, his soul is preoccupied with the food, and that distracts him from the humility in his prayer.
