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.
