[3508] 95 - (...) It was narrated that Anas said: "When the Prophet ﷺ married Zainab, Umm Sulaim gave him a gift of some Hais in a stone vessel."
Anas said: "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Go and invite for me whoever you meet of the Muslims.' So I invited for him whomever I met. They started coming in, eating, and leaving, and the Prophet ﷺ kept his hand on that food and prayed for blessing for it, saying whatever Allâh willed he should say. I did not leave anyone whom I met but I invited him, and they ate their fill and left, but a few of them stayed behind and chatted at length. The Prophet ﷺ felt too shy to say anything to them, so he went out and left them in the house. Then Allâh [Most High] revealed the words: "O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses, unless permission is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation." - Qatâdah said: "Not waiting for the time for food." - "But when you are invited, enter" until he reached "that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts."[1]
