[Machine] The worst of food is the wedding feast that is given to the rich and denied to the poor. And whoever does not respond has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.  

أحمد:١٠٤١٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُعَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْعُرْسِ يُطْعَمُهُ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُمْنَعُهُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
