abudawud:3736al-Qaʿnabī > Mālik > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

when one of you is invited for a wedding feast, he must attend it.  

أبو داود:٣٧٣٦حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْوَلِيمَةِ فَلْيَأْتِهَا  

abudawud:3737Makhlad b. Khālid > Abū Usāmah > ʿUbaydullāh > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

If he is not fasting, he should eat, and if he is fasting, he should leave it.  

أبو داود:٣٧٣٧حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَعْنَاهُ زَادَ فَإِنْ كَانَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيَطْعَمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا فَلْيَدْعُ  

abudawud:3738al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

if one of you invites his brother, he should accept(the invitation), whether it is a wedding feast or something of that nature.  

أبو داود:٣٧٣٨حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَعَا أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُجِبْ عُرْسًا كَانَ أَوْ نَحْوَهُ  

abudawud:3739Ibn al-Muṣaffá > Baqiyyah > al-Zubaydī

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Nafi’ to the same effect through the chain of narrators as mentioned in Ayyub.  

أبو داود:٣٧٣٩حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُصَفَّى حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْدِيُّ

عَنْ نَافِعٍ بِإِسْنَادِ أَيُّوبَ وَمَعْنَاهُ  

abudawud:3740Muḥammad b. Kathīr > Sufyān > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

when one of you is invited to a meal, he must accept. If he wishes he may eat, but if he wishes(to leave), he may leave.  

أبو داود:٣٧٤٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ دُعِيَ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَعِمَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ  

abudawud:3741Musaddad > Durust b. Ziyād > Abān b. Ṭāriq > Ṭāriq > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

The Prophet ﷺ said: He who does not accept an invitation which he receives has disobeyed Allah and His Apostle, and he who enters without invitation enters as a thief and goes out as a raider. Abu Dawud said: Aban bin Tariq is unknown.  

أبو داود:٣٧٤١حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا دُرُسْتُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ طَارِقٍ عَنْ طَارِقٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ دُعِيَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَمَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَى غَيْرِ دَعْوَةٍ دَخَلَ سَارِقًا وَخَرَجَ مُغِيرًا  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَبَانُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ مَجْهُولٌ
abudawud:3742al-Qaʿnabī > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

The worst kind of food is that at a wedding feast to which the rich are invited and from which the poor are left out. If anyone does not attend the feast to which he was invited, he has disobeyed Allah and His Apostle (may peace upon him).  

أبو داود:٣٧٤٢حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى لَهَا الأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
