بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْوَلِيمَةِChapter on What is Reported Regarding the Wedding Feast (Walima)
Hadith 1124
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ : " شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ، يُدْعَى لَهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ، فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ "
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: The food of the wedding feast is the worst of all foods; in it, the rich are invited and the poor are left out. And whoever does not attend the invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.
