Sunan Abi Dawud 188 (Book 1, Hadith 188) #20479
The Importance of Prayer over Other Tasks

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) was cutting meat for his guest when he was called to prayer, and he showed his displeasure at being interrupted.

Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah: One night I became the guest of the Prophet . He ordered that a piece of mutton be roasted, and it was roasted. He then took a knife and began to cut the meat with it for me. In the meantime Bilal came and called him for prayer. He threw the knife and said: What happened! may his hands be smeared with earth! He then stood for offering prayer. Al-Anbari added: My moustaches became lengthy. He trimmed them by placing a took-stick; or he said: I shall trim your moustaches by placing the tooth-stick there. Al-Anbari said: My moustaches became lengthy. He trimmed them by placing a tooth-stick ; or he said: I shall trim your moustaches by placing the tooth-stick there.
