<p>The Rema (Shulchan Aruch OC 695:2) writes that when Purim is on erev Shabbat, it is preferable to begin the Purim
<em>seuda</em> in the morning (before midday) so as not to detract from the honor of Shabbat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Mishnah Berurah (695:10) cites the Yad Efrayim who writes that if this will be difficult, one may
<em>l’chat’chila</em> postpone the <em>seuda</em> up until three hours before Shabbat.
<em>Bedieved</em> (after the fact), if one is unable to begin the <em>seuda</em> until later, one must still eat the seuda up until Shabbat. If one is still in the middle of the Purim
<em>seuda</em> at <em>shkia</em> (sunset), when Shabbat begins, one must cover the food, recite Kiddush, and then continue the meal. The Mishnah Berurah writes that if this were to happen, one would recite Retzei in
<em>bentching</em>, but not <em>al hanissim</em>. One cannot recite both <em>retzei</em> and<em> al hanissim</em>, since this would be a contradiction. Since we are required to recite
<em>retzei</em>, this indicates that it is Shabbat and Purim is over. Therefore, one can no longer recite
<em>al hanissim</em>.</p>
