وحدثنا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، حدثنا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِلزُّهْرِيِّ : يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، كَيْفَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ ، فَضَحِكَ فقَالَ : لَيْسَ هُوَ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : وَكَانَ أَبِي غَنِيًّا ، فَأَفْزَعَنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ حِينَ سَمِعْتُ بِهِ ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ الزُّهْرِيَّ ، فقَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ : طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ ،
Sufyan reported: I said to Zuhri: Abu Bakr, what does this hadith mean: "The worst kind of food is at a wedding feast of the rich"? He laughed and said: The food served in the feast given by the rich is not worst (in itself). Sufyan said: My father was rich, so I felt disturbed when I heard this hadith, so I asked Zuhri who said: I heard from 'Abdul Rahman al-Alraj that he heard Abu Hurairah (RA) say: The worst kind of food is that served at the wedding feast. The rest of the hadith is the same.
