[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "When one of you comes to a camel shepherd, let them call out 'O camel shepherd!' three times. If he responds, then good. If not, then let them milk and drink without burdening him. And when one of you comes to a wall, let them call out 'O people of the wall!' three times. If they respond, then good. If not, then let them eat without burdening them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said, "Hospitality lasts for three days, and whatever exceeds that, it becomes charity."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى رَاعِي إِبِلٍ فَلْيُنَادِي يَا رَاعِيَ الْإِبِلِ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَحْلِبْ وَلْيَشْرَبْ وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّ وَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى حَائِطٍ فَلْيُنَادِ ثَلَاثًا يَا أَصْحَابَ الْحَائِطِ فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّ» قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا زَادَ فَصَدَقَةٌ»  

None (of you) should milk the animal of another, but with his permission. Does any one of you like that his chamber be raided, and his vaults be broken, and his foodstuff be removed? Verily the treasures for them (those who keep animals) are the udders of the animals which feed them. So none of you should milk the animal of another but with his permission. (Using translation from Muslim 1726a)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَحْتَلِبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرَبَتُهُ فَتُكْسَرَ خِزَانَتُهُ فَيُنْتَثَلُ طَعَامُهُ إِنَّمَا ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ وَأَطْعِمَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَحْتَلِبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ»  

[Machine] My family sent me with a container of milk to the Prophet ﷺ. I brought it to him and he instructed me to milk it. So, I milked it and the Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Leave the caller of the milk."  

بَعَثَنِي أَهْلِي بِلَقُوحٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلُبَهَا فَحَلَبْتُهَا فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «دَعْ دَاعِيَ اللَّبَنِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hospitality lasts for three days, and anything beyond that is considered as charity."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا وَرَاءَهَا فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ»  

[Machine] That Abu Talhah saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pale, so he went to Umm Sulaym and said, "Do you have anything?" She said, "We only have some dough made from barley flour." He said, "Knead it and make it into bread, perhaps the Prophet ﷺ may come and eat with us." So she kneaded it and baked it, and out came a loaf. He said, "Invite the Prophet ﷺ for me." I came to the Prophet ﷺ and with him were some people. Mubarak bin Fadalah, who, I think, numbered about eighty-eight, said: "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Talhah is inviting you.' He said to his companions, 'Go and answer Abu Talhah's invitation.' So I hurried until I told him that he had come, and his companions (also). Bakr said: 'He then followed me closely (perspiring so hard that) he was drenched.' Thabit said: 'Abu Talhah told the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "You know what I have in my house better than I do, and Anas said that they both said: 'Then he greeted him and Abu Talhah said: 'O Messenger of Allah we have nothing but a loaf of bread, and I saw you (pale) so I ordered Umm Sulaym to make that a loaf of bread.' He said: 'One bearing of a piece of fat or something?' Abu Talhah said: 'There is something in a container.' So he brought it and the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Talhah squeezed it until something came out. Then the Prophet ﷺ wiped with some of it with his index finger, then he wiped the loaf with it and it inflated and he said: "Bismillah (in the name of Allah). And he continued to do that and the loaf would inflate until I saw the loaf expanding in the container. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Invite ten of my Companions also.' So I invited ten of them and he put his hand in the middle of the loaf and said: 'Eat in the name of Allah.' So they ate from around the loaf until they were full. Then he said: 'Invite ten more.' He kept inviting ten more until about eighty or ninety ate from that loaf until they were full. Then in the middle where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ put his hand, it remained as it was."  

أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَاوِيًا فَأَتَى أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَتْ مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلَّا نَحْوُ مُدٍّ مِنْ دَقِيقِ شَعِيرٍ قَالَ فَاعْجِنِيهِ وَأَصْلِحِيهِ عَسَى أَنْ نَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَيَأْكُلَ عِنْدَنَا قَالَ فَعَجَنَتْهُ وَخَبَزَتْهُ فَجَاءَ قُرْصًا فَقَالَ ادْعُ لِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ نَاسٌ قَالَ مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ أَحْسِبُهُ بَضْعَةً وَثَمَانِينَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَدْعُوكَ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «أَجِيبُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ» فَجِئْتُ مُسْرِعًا حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ قَالَ بَكْرٌ فَقَفَدَنِي قَفْدًا وَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي بَيْتِي مِنِّي وَقَالَا جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَنَسٍ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا قُرْصٌ رَأَيْتُكَ طَاوِيًا فَأَمَرْتُ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَجَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ قُرْصًا قَالَ فَدَعَا بِالْقُرْصِ وَدَعَا بِجَفْنَةٍ فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهَا وَقَالَ «هَلْ مِنْ سَمْنٍ؟ » قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَكَانَ فِي الْعُكَّةِ شَيْءٌ فَجَاءَ بِهَا فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَعْصِرَانِهَا حَتَّى خَرَجَ شَيْءٌ فَمَسَحَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِهِ سَبَّابَتَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ الْقُرْصَ فَانْتَفَخَ وَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَانْتَفَخَ الْقُرْصُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ وَالْقُرْصُ يَنْتَفِخُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْقُرْصَ فِي الْجَفْنَةِ يَتَمَيَّعُ فَقَالَ «ادْعُ عَشْرَةً مِنْ أَصْحَابِي» فَدَعَوْتُ لَهُ عَشْرَةً قَالَ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ فِي وَسَطِ الْقُرْصِ وَقَالَ «كُلُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَأَكَلُوا حَوَالَيِ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ «ادْعُ لِي عَشْرَةً» فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَدْعُو عَشْرَةً عَشْرَةً يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى أَكَلَ مِنْهُ بَضْعَةٌ وَثَمَانُونَ مِنْ حَوَالَيِ الْقُرْصِ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَإِنَّ وَسَطَ الْقُرْصِ حَيْثُ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ كَمَا هُوَ  

I am hard pressed by hunger. He sent (message) to one of his wives (to procure food for him). but she said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth, thrre is nothing with me (to serve him) but only water. He (the Holy Prophet) then sent the (same) message to another, and she gave the same reply, until all of them gave the same reply: By Him Who has sent thee with the Truth, there is nothing with me but only water, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah would show mercy to him who will entertain this guest tonight. A person from the Ansar stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, I (am ready to entertain). He took him to his house and said to his wife: Is there anything with you (to serve the gdest)? She said: No, but only a subsistence for our children. He said: Distract their attention with something, and when the guest enters extinguish the lamp and give him the impression that we are eating. So they sat down. and the guest had his meal. When it was morning he went to Allah's Apostle ﷺ who said: Allah was well pleased with what you both did for your guest this night. (Using translation from Muslim 2054a)  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مَجْهُودٌ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَقَالَتْ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيًّا مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا مَاءٌ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُخْرَى فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى قُلْنَ كُلُّهُنَّ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «مَنْ يُضِيفُ هَذَا اللَّيْلَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَتْ لَا إِلَّا قُوتُ صِبْيَانِي قَالَ فَعَلِّلِيهِمْ بِشَيْءٍ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ ضَيْفُنَا فَأَضِيئِي * السِّرَاجَ وَأَرِيهِ أَنَّا نَأْكُلُ فَإِذَا أَهْوَى لِيَأْكُلَ قَوْمِي إِلَى السِّرَاجِ حَتَّى تُطْفِئِيهِ قَالَ فَقَعَدُوا وَأَكَلَ الضَّيْفُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ غَدَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ عَجِبَ اللَّهُ مِنْ صَنِيعِكُمَا اللَّيْلَةَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his neighbor. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or keep silent. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest; his reward is a day and a night of hosting, and hospitality is for three days. Anything after that is considered charity, and it is not permissible for him to stay with him until he causes him discomfort."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتَ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ جَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ وَالضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَثْوِيَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ»  

"We said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: ' You send us and we stay with people who do not show us any hospitality. WHat do you think of that?' The MEssenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If you stay with people and they give you what a guest deserves, then accept it. If they do not do that , then take from them what they should have offered, which a guest is entitled to.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3676)   

عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَنْزِلُ بِقَوْمٍ لَا يُضَيِّفُونَا فَكَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ نَزَلْتُمْ بِقَوْمٍ فَأَمَرُوا لَكُمْ بِمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلضَّيْفِ فَاقْبَلُوا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْهُمْ حَقَّ الضَّيْفِ الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي لَهُ»  

Accept the feast, when you are invited. (Using translation from Muslim 1429d)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِيتُوا الدَّعْوَةَ إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ»  

[Machine] When he was invited, he would go to the inviter. If he was fasting, he would pray for blessings and then depart. But if he had broken his fast, he would sit and eat. Nafi said: Ibn Umar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you are invited to a meal, respond to the invitation."  

كَانَ إِذَا دُعِيَ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الدَّاعِي فَإِنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا دَعَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُفْطِرًا جَلَسَ فَأَكَلَ قَالَ نَافِعٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا دُعِيتُمْ إِلَى كُرَاعٍ فَأَجِيبُوا»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "If I were given a gift of a sheep, I would accept it, and if I were invited to a meal, I would attend."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ كُرَاعٌ لَقَبِلْتُهُ وَلَوْ دُعِيتُ إِلَيْهِ لَأَجَبْتُهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I were invited to a mountain, I would respond, and if I were given a gift, I would accept it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ دُعِيتُ إِلَى كُرَاعٍ لَأَجَبْتُ وَلَوْ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ لَقَبِلْتُ»  

[Machine] "A tailor in the city invited the Messenger of Allahﷺ for a meal of barley bread and a stew with small pieces of meat in it. The stew had some pumpkins in it. Anas narrated, 'I used to see the Prophetﷺ liking the pumpkin, so I would bring it before him. The pumpkin always pleased me since I saw that it pleased him, peace be upon him.'"  

«أَنَّ خَيَّاطًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ دَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى خُبْزِ شَعِيرٍ وَإِهَالَةٍ سَنِخَةٍ وَكَانَ فِيهَا قَرْعٌ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَكُنْتُ أَرَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الْقَرْعُ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ أُقَدِّمُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلِ الْقَرْعُ يُعْجِبُنِي مُنْذُ رَأَيْتُهُ يُعْجِبُهُ ﷺ»  

when one of you is invited for a wedding feast, he must attend it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3736)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْوَلِيمَةِ فَلْيَأْتِهَا»  

[Machine] "Some of my companions prepared food for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'I would love for you to eat in my house and pray in it.'" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and there was a piece of chicken in the house, so he ordered a side of it to be cleaned, then he sprinkled it with water, and he prayed and we prayed with him.  

«صَنَعَ بَعْضُ عُمُومَتِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ طَعَامًا وَقَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ فِي بَيْتِي وَتُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِذَا فِي الْبَيْتِ فَحْلٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْفُحُولِ فَأَمَرَ بِجَانِبٍ مِنْهُ فَكُنِسَ ثُمَّ رُشَّ فَصَلَّى وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ broke his fast with Sa’d bin Mu’adh and said: ‘Aftara ‘indakumus-saimun, wa akala ta’amakumul-abrar, wa sallat ‘alaikumul- mala’ikah (May fasting people break their fast with you, may the righteous eat your food, and may the angels send blessing upon you).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1747)  

أَفْطَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ سَعْدٍ فَقَالَ «أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الْأَبْرَارُ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to my father and he was a guest with him. He offered food to him and brought hais. He then brought a drink which he drank and he gave it to the one on his right. He ate dried dates and began to put the kernels on the back of his ring finger and middle finger. When he got up, my father also got up, and held the rein of his mount. He said : Pray to Allah for me. He said : O Allah, bless them in what you provided them, and have mercy on them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3729)   

جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أَبِي فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَاهُ بِطَعَامٍ وَحَيْسٍ وَسَوِيقٍ وَتَمْرٍ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِشَرَابٍ فَنَاوَلَ مَنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ التَّمْرَ وَيَضَعُ النَّوَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ أُصْبُعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوسْطَى ثُمَّ يَرْمِي بِهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهُمْ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Abu who was riding a white mule. The Messenger took hold of its reins and said, "Get off with me, O Messenger of Allah." So he dismounted and said, "Bring them some hay." They brought hay and they ate it. Then they brought dates. The Prophet ﷺ started eating and saying, "Like this" while turning it over and putting one end of it between his fingers. Then they brought him a drink and he drank from it. Then he passed it on to the one on his right. Then he said, "O Allah, bless them in what You have provided for them, forgive them, and have mercy on them."  

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَبِي وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَأَخَذَ بِلِجَامِهَا فَقَالَ انْزِلْ عِنْدِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَنَزَلَ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ فَجَاءَهُمْ بِحَيْسٍ فَأَكَلُوهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُمْ بِتَمْرٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ وَيَقُولُ بِالنَّوَى هَكَذَا وَيُقَلِّبُهُ وَضَمَّ شُعْبَةُ أُصْبُعَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَاءُوهُ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَ الَّذِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ»  

[Machine] My father said to my mother, "If you prepare food for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , make tharid and place it in his hand like this to make it smaller." So my father went and called the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ placed his hand on the edge of the tharid and said, "Take in the name of Allah." They took from different sides of it, and when they tasted it, the Prophet ﷺ supplicated for them, saying, "O Allah, forgive them, have mercy on them, and bless their provision."  

أَبِي لِأُمِّي لَوْ صَنَعْتِ طَعَامًا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَنَعَتْ ثَرِيدَةً وَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا يُقَلِّلُهَا فَانْطَلَقَ أَبِي فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَى ذِرْوَتِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «خُذُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ» فَأَخَذُوا مِنْ نَوَاحِيهَا فَلَمَّا طَعِمُوا دَعَا لَهُمْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي رِزْقِهِمْ»  

0 ye, prepare for us food sufficient for five persons, for I intend to invite Allah's Apostle ﷺ who would be the fifth amongst the five. He (the narrator) reported that he then prepared the food and came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and invited all the five (including him) who was the fifth amongst them to the feast. A man followed him and when Allah's Apostle ﷺ reached the door, he said: This man has followed us; if you like you may permit him (to join the meal) and if you like he can go back. Thereupon the person said: Messenger of Allah, I permit him. (Using translation from Muslim 2036a)  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَرَفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْجُوعَ فَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ اصْنَعْ لَنَا طَعَامًا لِخَمْسَةٍ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ قَالَ فَصَنَعَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ وَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْبَابَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا تَبِعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ» وَإِنْ شِئْتَ رَجَعَ «قَالَ بَلْ آذَنُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ  

[Machine] A Persian man was a neighbor of the Prophet ﷺ , and his cooking smelled the most fragrant. He made food and then came to the Prophet ﷺ . He motioned to him to come in, along with Aisha, to his side. The Prophet ﷺ said, "And she is with me," and pointed to Aisha. He said no. He then motioned to him again, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "And she is with me," and pointed to Aisha. He said no. He motioned to him for the third time, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "And she is with me," and pointed to Aisha. He said yes.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا فَارِسِيًّا كَانَ جَارًا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَكَانَتْ مَرَقَتُهُ أَطْيَبَ شَيْءٍ رِيحًا فَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ تَعَالَ وَعَائِشَةُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «وَهَذِهِ مَعِي» وَأَشَارَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «وَهَذِهِ مَعِي» قَالَ لَا ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ «وَهَذِهِ مَعِي» وَأَشَارَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] A man made food and sent it to the Prophet ﷺ . He said, "Come to me along with five others." He said, "Can I bring a sixth person with me?"  

صَنَعَ رَجُلٌ طَعَامًا فَبَعَثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ائْتِنِي أَنْتَ وَخَمْسَةٌ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ «أَتَأْذَنُ لِي فِي سَادِسٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When someone invites you, respond to the invitation. If you wish, you may attend, and if you wish, you may decline."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ»  

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). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3742)   

«شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»  

“The worst of food is food of a wedding feast to which the rich are invited and the poor are not. Whoever does not accept an invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.' ” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1913)  

«شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْفُقَرَاءُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»  

If any one of you is invited, he should accept (the invitation). In case he is fasting, he should pray (in order to bless the inmates of the house), and if he is not fasting he should eat. (Using translation from Muslim 1431)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا فَلْيُصَلِّ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيَطْعَمْ»  

[Machine] "We used to pray with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on Fridays. There was a woman among us who would make a dish of turnips. So, when it was Friday, she would pull out the turnip roots and put them in a pot, then she would put a handful of barley over them and grind everything together. That turnip dish would become tasty." Sahl said, "So, after offering the Friday prayer, we would go to her and greet her, and she would bring that food closer to us, and we would lick it. We used to hope for that food on Fridays."  

«كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ الْقَائِلَةُ وَكَانَتْ فِينَا امْرَأَةٌ فَكَانَتْ تَجْعَلُ فِي مَزْرَعَةٍ لَهَا سِلْقًا فَكَانَتْ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ تَنْزِعُ أُصُولَ السِّلْقِ فَتَجْعَلُهُ فِي قِدْرٍ ثُمَّ تَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهِ قَبْضَةً مِنْ شَعِيرٍ فَتَطْحَنُهَا فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ السِّلْقُ عُرَاقَةً» قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَكُنَّا نَنْصَرِفُ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَنُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهَا فَتُقَرِّبُ ذَلِكَ الطَّعَامَ إِلَيْنَا فَنَلْعَقُهُ قَالَ فَكُنَّا نَتَمَنَّى يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِطَعَامِهَا ذَلِكَ
