[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The worst food is the food of a banquet that is refused by those invited, while those who are not invited are called to it. And whoever does not respond to the invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger."

muslim:1432dIbn Abū ʿUmar > Sufyān > Ziyād b. Saʿd > Thābit al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

Abu Haraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying. The worst kind of food is at the wedding feast from which one who comes is turned away, and he who refuses it is invited, and he who did not accept the invitation disobeyed Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.  

مسلم:١٤٣٢dوَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زِيَادَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ثَابِتًا الأَعْرَجَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُمْنَعُهَا مَنْ يَأْتِيهَا وَيُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يَأْبَاهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ  

malik:28-54Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibr. Shihab from al-Araj that Abu Hurayra said, "The worst food is the food of a wedding feast to which the rich are invited and the poor are left out. If anyone rejects an invitation, he has rebelled against Allah and His Messenger."  

مالك:٢٨-٥٤وَحَدَّثَنِي 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

"شَرُّ الطَّعامِ طَعَامُ الْولِيمةِ؛ يُمْنَعُهَا من يأْتِيها، ويُدْعى إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يأباها، ومَنْ لَا يُجب الدَّعْوةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى الله وَرَسُولَهُ".
