Abu Rafi' reported:

I testify that I used to roast the liver of the goat for the Messenger of Allah (may peace be tipcn him) and then he offered praver but did not perform ablution.

قَالَ عَمْرٌو حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي غَطَفَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ أَشْهَدُ لَكُنْتُ أَشْوِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَطْنَ الشَّاةِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ ‏.‏

The Islamic legislation is always in harmony with the Islamic nation. To establish this principle, Islamic law was graduating in some aspects till it confirmed the last legislations. As a result, some Islamic established aspects were abrogated by either Quranic verses or Prophetic statements. In this hadith, Abu Rafe', the Prophet's servant, narrated that he used to roast the goat's abdomen, including liver, spleen, heart, and Intestines for the Prophet (ﷺ) then the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed without repeating his ablution. This confirmed that a Muslim is not required to perform or repeat his ablution after eating something cooked by fire. As for the other hadith that commanded Muslims to perform or repeat ablution after eating something cooked by fire, it was abrogated by this hadith narrated by Abu Rafe'. In Sunan Abu Daoud and Sunan An-Nasa’i, Jaber ibn Abdullah narrated, "The last of the two matters that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do was to leave off ablution due to eating something cooked by fire." Finally, this hadith refers that Islamic law always makes it easy for people about the aspect of performing ablution after eating..
