´Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The Salam is before talking." With this chain it has been reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Do not invite anyone to the food until the Salam is given."
وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا تَدْعُوا أَحَدًا إِلَى الطَّعَامِ حَتَّى يُسَلِّمَ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُنْكَرٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، وَسَمِعْت مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ : عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ضَعِيفٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ ذَاهِبٌ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ .
And with this chain, it is also narrated from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said: "Do not invite anyone to food until he greets (with Salam)." __REF_N__ Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Munkar. We do not know this hadith except through this chain.
2- I heard Muhammad bin Isma'il Bukhari say that Anbasah bin Abdur Rahman is weak and confused in narrating hadith, and Muhammad bin Zadhan is Munkar al-Hadith.

Note:
(In the chain of narration, both Muhammad bin Zadhan and Anbasah bin Abd al-Rahman are weak narrators, but on the basis of corroborating narrations and supporting evidences, this hadith is hasan li-ghayrihi (good due to others), al-Sahihah: 816)
