187 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكَلَ كَتِفَ شَاةٍ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ»

Commentary
In the early days of Islam, if one ate food cooked on a fire, it was required to perform Wudū' prior to Salāt (see no. 194). Later, this ruling was abrogated (see no. 192), but it is possible that some of the Companions were not aware of that, hence, they kept following the earlier ruling.
