ahmad:25621Yaḥyiá > Hishām from my father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "When the dinner is served and the prayer is established, start with the dinner." Waki' (one of the narrators) said, "When both the prayer and dinner are ready." Ibn 'Uyaynah said, "When the dinner is served."  

أحمد:٢٥٦٢١حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيِى حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ قَالَتْ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا وُضِعَ الْعَشَاءُ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَابْدَءُوا بِالْعَشَاءِ وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالْعَشَاءُ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ إِذَا وُضِعَ الْعَشَاءُ
