3745. It was narrated from Hammām, he said: "Qatādah narrated tous, from Al-Hasan, from 'Abdullāh bin 'Uthmān Ath-Thaqafī, from a one-eyed man of Thaqaif, who was spoken of with the highest esteem - and if his name was not Zuhair bin 'Uthmān, then I do not know what his name was - that the Prophet ﷺ said: "A feast on the first day is a duty, and on the second day is customary, but on the third day it is seeking reputation and showing off." Qatādah said: "A man told me that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab was invited on the first day and he accepted, and he was invited on the second day and he accepted, and he was invited on the third day and he did not accept, and he said: 'Those people are seeking reputation and showing off.'" (Da'if)

3745 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ - رَجُلٍ أَعْوَرَ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ كَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَعْرُوفًا أَيْ يُثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ اسْمُهُ - زُهَيْرُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ فَلَا أَدْرِي مَا اسْمُهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْوَلِيمَةُ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ حَقٌّ، وَالثَّانِيَ مَعْرُوفٌ، وَالْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ سُمْعَةٌ وَرِيَاءٌ» قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: وَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ دُعِيَ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ فَأَجَابَ، وَدُعِيَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِيَ فَأَجَابَ، وَدُعِيَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْ، وَقَالَ: «أَهْلُ سُمْعَةٍ وَرِيَاءٍ»
