Hadith 1204
1204 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا زِيَادُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ثَابِتًا الْأَعْرَجَ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ، يُمْنَعُهَا مَنْ يَأْتِيهَا، وَيُدْعَي لَهَا مَنْ يَأْبَاهَا، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَي اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The worst food is the food of a wedding feast in which those who wish to attend are prevented, and those who refuse are invited. Whoever does not accept the invitation disobeys Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)."
