"بِئسَ الطَّعَامُ طعامُ الوليمةِ، يُدْعَى إِليها الأغنياءُ، وَيُمْنعُ الفقراءُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَه".

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Ibn Mājah, Mālik, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, SuyūṭīThe worst food is that of a wedding banquet to which only the rich are invited while the poor are not invited. And he who refuses an invitation (to a banquet) disobeys Allah and His Apostle .
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى لَهَا الأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْفُقَرَاءُ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ﷺ
The worst kind of food is the wedding feast to which the rich are invited and the poor are ignored. He who does not come to the feast, he in fact disobeys Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ بِئْسَ الطَّعَامُ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهِ الأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
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.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُمْنَعُهَا مَنْ يَأْتِيهَا وَيُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يَأْبَاهَا 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.' ”
شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى لَهَا الأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْفُقَرَاءُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
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."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى لَهَا الأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
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 لَهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُدْفَعُ عَنْهَا الْفُقَرَاءُ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
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)
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى إِلَيْه الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
[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.
شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْعُرْسِ يُطْعَمُهُ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُمْنَعُهُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْأَمْرَ بِإِجَابَةِ الدَّعْوَةِ إِذَا دُعِيَ الْمَرْءُ إِلَيْهَا أَمْرُ حَتْمٍ لَا نَدْبٍ

ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ

[Machine] "There is no goodness in the food of a wedding feast; the rich are invited to it while the poor are left behind, and whoever does not respond has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger."
«لَا خَيْرَ فِي طَعَامِ الْعُرْسِ؛ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهِ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْفُقَرَاءُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»

سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ «شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ؛ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»
"شَرُّ الطَّعامِ طَعامُ الْولِيمةِ؛ يُدْعى إِلَيْهَا الأَغْنِياءُ ويمْنَعُهَا الْمساكِينُ، ومنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى الله ورسوُلَهُ".
"شَرُّ الطَّعامِ طَعَامُ الْولِيمةِ؛ يُمْنَعُهَا من يأْتِيها، ويُدْعى إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يأباها، ومَنْ لَا يُجب الدَّعْوةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى الله وَرَسُولَهُ".
