UNINVITED GUESTS

267

“The worst food is the food served at a wedding feast to which those who would have liked to come are uninvited, and to which those who are invited do not wish to attend. He who declines the invitation disobeys Allah and His Messenger, praise and peace be upon him.

The worst food is the food served at a wedding feast to which the rich are invited and from which the poor are excluded.”

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
