Hadith 7044
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى الْغَنِيُّ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمِسْكِينُ وَفِي لَفْظٍ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَهِيَ حَقٌّ وَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ عَصَى وَكَانَ مَعْمَرٌ رُبَّمَا قَالَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: The food of the wedding feast (walimah) is the worst food, in which the rich are invited and the poor are left out, although it is a rightful invitation; whoever leaves it has disobeyed. The words of the narrator Mu’ammar are: Whoever did not accept the invitation has disobeyed Allah Almighty and His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “The worst food is the food of a wedding feast (walimah); those who wish to come to it are prevented, and those who refuse to come are invited.
