Ablution Before Eating and Praying

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad performed ablution before eating and then prayed, but did not perform ablution again before praying after he finished eating.

He ate them and called for ablution water. he performed ablution and offered the noon (Dhuhr) prayer. He then called for the remaining food and ate it. He then got up and prayed and did not perform ablution.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْخَثْعَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ قَرَّبْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ خُبْزًا وَلَحْمًا فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ بِهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِفَضْلِ طَعَامِهِ فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ

Perform Wudu/Ablution Before Eating & Praying

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of performing ablution before eating and praying. It was narrated by Muhammad b. al-Munkadir who heard it from Jabir b. 'Abd Allah that the Prophet Muhammad ate some bread and meat, then performed wudu or ablution before offering Dhuhr prayer, then ate the remaining food without performing wudu again before praying afterwards. This shows us that it is important to perform wudu or ablution prior to engaging in any religious activities such as prayer or reciting Quran verses, but it is not necessary to do so after every meal we eat if we have already done so beforehand once in a while. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about cleanliness and hygiene which are essential for our physical health as well as spiritual wellbeing according to Islamic teachings.
