853 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا حَضَرَ الْعَشَاء وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَابْدَءُوا بِالْعَشَاء»

Commentary
This is when one is in dire need of taking food, or one feels that if he offers prayer without eating food, he will not be able to concentrate and he will remain disturbed. Or this is when there is fear of food getting spoilt. This is because Allâh's Messenger ﷺ has forbidden ruining wealth.
