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

Collected by Muslim, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīAbu 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 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
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْأَمْرَ بِإِجَابَةِ الدَّعْوَةِ إِذَا دُعِيَ الْمَرْءُ إِلَيْهَا أَمْرُ حَتْمٍ لَا نَدْبٍ

«شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
“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»

سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ «شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ؛ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»
[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."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُمْنَعُهَا مَنْ يَأْتِيهَا وَيُدْعَى إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يَأْبَاهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ
"بِئسَ الطَّعَامُ طعامُ الوليمةِ، يُدْعَى إِليها الأغنياءُ، وَيُمْنعُ الفقراءُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُجِبْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَه".
"شَرُّ الطَّعامِ طَعامُ الْولِيمةِ؛ يُدْعى إِلَيْهَا الأَغْنِياءُ ويمْنَعُهَا الْمساكِينُ، ومنْ لَمْ يُجِبِ الدَّعْوةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى الله ورسوُلَهُ".
