Majma al-Zawaid 13632 — One who is offered food should eat and not ask

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ فَأَطْعَمَهُ طَعَامًا ، فَلْيَأْكُلْ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ وَلَا يَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ ، وَإِنْ سَقَاهُ شَرَابًا فَلْيَشْرَبْ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ وَلَا يَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَفِيهِ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الزِّنْجِيُّ وَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ مَعِينٍ وَغَيْرُهُ وَضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ وَغَيْرُهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِمَا رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you goes to his Muslim brother and that other person gives him food, then the first person should eat from that food and should not ask about it; and when that other person gives him a drink, he should drink that drink as well and should not ask about it."
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Muslim bin Khalid al-Zanji, whom Ibn Ma'in and others declared thiqah (trustworthy), while Ahmad and others declared him da'if (weak). The remaining narrators of both are the narrators of the Sahih.
