أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا هَمَّامٌ، ثنا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَعْوَرَ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ كَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَعْرُوفًا أَيْ يُثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ اسْمُهُ زُهَيْرَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ فَلَا أَدْرِي مَا اسْمُهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْوَلِيمَةُ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ حَقٌّ، وَالثَّانِيَ مَعْرُوفٌ، وَالْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ سُمْعَةٌ وَرِئَاءٌ ".
Abdullah bin Uthman al-Thaqafi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from a one-eyed man of Thaqif who was always spoken of with praise; if his name is not Zuhayr bin Uthman, then I do not know his name, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The wedding feast (walimah) on the first day is a right, on the second day it is a kindness, and on the third day it is for reputation and showing off."
قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: وَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ " دُعِيَ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ فَأَجَابَ، وَالثَّانِيَ فَأَجَابَ، وَدُعِيَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْ وَقَالَ: " أَهْلُ سُمْعَةٍ وَرِئَاءٍ ".
When Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) was invited to a wedding feast (walimah) on the first or second day, he would accept, but on the third day he would not accept, and he would say: This is for reputation and showing off.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: " دُعِيَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ فَأَجَابَ، وَدُعِيَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِيَ فَأَجَابَ، وَدُعِيَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ فَحَصَبَهُمْ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ وَقَالَ " اذْهَبُوا أَهْلَ رِئَاءٍ وَسُمْعَةٍ ".
Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ibn al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) would accept the invitation to a wedding feast (walimah) on the first and second days, but on the third day he threw pebbles at them and said: "Go away, you people of showing off and reputation."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ إِمْلَاءً، ثنا جَدِّي أَبُو عَمْرٍو، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدُوسِ بْنِ كَامِلٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْحَرَشِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَكَّائِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " طَعَامُ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ حَقٌّ، وَالثَّانِيَ مِثْلَهُ " وَفِي رِوَايَةِ السُّلَمِيِّ: " طَعَامُ يَوْمٍ حَقٌّ، وَطَعَامُ يَوْمَيْنِ سُنَّةٌ، وَطَعَامُ الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ سُمْعَةٌ وَرِئَاءٌ، وَمَنْ يُسَمِّعْ يُسَمِّعِ اللهُ بِهِ " وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ السُّلَمِيُّ قَوْلَهُ: رِئَاءٌ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The food of the wedding feast (walimah) on the first and second days is a right." In the narration of al-Sulami: "The food of one day is a right, the food of two days is a Sunnah, and the food of the third day is showing off and reputation; and whoever seeks reputation, Allah will expose him." Al-Sulami did not mention the word "showing off".
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَيَّانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ، فَذَكَرَهُ، وَلَيْسَ هَذَا بِقَوِيٍّ بَكْرُ بْنُ خُنَيْسٍ تَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ وَحَدِيثُ الْبَكَّائِيِّ أَيْضًا غَيْرُ قَوِيٍّ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مَرْفُوعًا وَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ.
Bakr bin Khunays also mentioned it (through another chain).
This is not strong; Bakr bin Khunays has been criticised, and the hadith of al-Bakka'i is also not strong. It has also been narrated from Abu Hurayrah as a saying of the Prophet (marfu'), and it is worth nothing.

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْفَارِسِيُّ، أَنْبَأَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ فَارِسٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيِّ، فِي حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: لَمْ يَصِحَّ إِسْنَادُهُ وَلَا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " " إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْوَلِيمَةِ فَلْيُجِبْ " " وَلَمْ يَخُصَّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَا غَيْرَهَا وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ وَذَكَرَ حِكَايَةَ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and others narrate from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whenever one of you is invited to a wedding feast (walimah), let him accept," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify three days or anything else.
Al-Bukhari said about the hadith of Zuhayr bin Uthman: Its chain is not authentic, and he is not known to have been a Companion; and this (hadith of Ibn Umar) is more authentic.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ هُوَ ابْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ، أَنَّ سِيرِينَ، عَرَّسَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ " فَأَوْلَمَ فَدَعَا النَّاسَ سَبْعًا " وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ دَعَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، " فَجَاءَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَدَعَا لَهُمْ بِخَيْرٍ وَانْصَرَفَ " وَكَذَا قَالَهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ سَبْعًا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَفْصَةَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ، ⦗٤٢٦⦘ وَقَالَ مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ثَمَانِيَ أَيَّامٍ وَالْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ.
Hafsah (bint Sirin) (may Allah have mercy on her) said: Sirin married in Madinah and fed the people a wedding feast (walimah) for seven days. He had also invited Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him); he was fasting, so he came, supplicated for blessing, and left.
Hammad bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates it from Ayyub (may Allah have mercy on him), but he did not mention Hafsah. Ma'mar narrated from Ayyub: eight days; but the first is more authentic.

Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) said: On the occasion of his marriage my father invited the people to food for eight days. He had also invited Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), who was fasting on the day he came. He made a supplication, that is, he supplicated for blessing, and then left.
