89. 'Abdullāh bin Muḥammad bin Abī Bakr — the brother of 'Āsim bin Muḥammad (meaning, grand-nephew of 'Āishah) — said: "One day we were with 'Āishah when her food was brought to her. 'Āsim stood up to offer Ṣalāt, so she said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "One should not offer Ṣalāt when the food has been served, nor while he is resisting one of the two filthy things." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
89 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، وَمُسَدَّدٌ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْمَعْنَى قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَزْرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ - قَالَ ابْنُ عِيسَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ: ابْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ - ثُمَّ اتَّفَقُوا أَخُو الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ - قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَجِيءَ بِطَعَامِهَا، فَقَامَ الْقَاسِمُ يُصَلِّي، فَقَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يُصَلَّى بِحَضْرَةِ الطَّعَامِ، وَلَا وَهُوَ يُدَافِعُهُ الْأَخْبَثَانِ»

Humility and concentration are vital in order for Ṣalāt to be accepted by Allāh. Anything that distracts from one's attention should be avoided. Hunger and the need to relieve oneself are often beyond human control. Therefore, one should first fulfill these needs before entering into Ṣalāt.
