1751 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ السُّلَمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ دُعِيَ إِلَى طَعَامٍ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ، فَلْيُجِبْ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَعِمَ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ»

Commentary
A person while fasting may accept the invitation and visit the host's home; because his/her just being there will be a pleasure for the host family, and it will assure that not joining in the food is not because of any anger.
