English translation

3742. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that he ﷺ used to say: "The worst of food is food for a wedding feast to which the rich are invited and the poor are ignored; and whoever does not respond to an invitation, he has disobeyed Allāh and His Messenger." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3742 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، 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»
