Hadith 2976
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ يَعْنِيَانِ الْفَزَارِيَّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، وقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّادٍ " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ مَا أَشْبَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَهْلَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ تِبَاعًا ، مِنْ خُبْزِ حِنْطَةٍ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: By Him in Whose Hand is my life and Ibn 'Abbad also said: By One in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (RA) , Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) could not afford to provide adequate food to his family which could (fill their bellies) with bread and wheat for three days successively until he left the world.

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُشِيرُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ مِرَارًا ، يَقُولُ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ ، مَا شَبِعَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَهْلُهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ تِبَاعًا مِنْ خُبْزِ حِنْطَةٍ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا " .
Abu Hazim reported: I saw Abu Hurairah (RA) point with his finger many a time and saying: By One in Whose Hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (RA) , Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) could not eat to his fill and provide his family bread of wheat beyond three days successively until he left the world.

Hadith Commentary:
Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu), recalling the condition of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), did not find it agreeable to eat this food. And since this was not a wedding feast (walimah) invitation, accepting it was also not obligatory.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu reflected upon the extent of hardship in the worldly livelihood of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum. Therefore, he refused to eat the roasted goat, and recalling the condition of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he did not find it agreeable to eat it.
(2)
Since this was not a wedding feast (walimah), accepting this invitation was not obligatory, because it is prohibited to refuse a wedding feast invitation without a valid reason.
