موطأ مالك

54
وَحَدَّثَنِي 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 .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibr. Shihab from al-Araj thatAbu Hurayra said, "The worst food is the food of a wedding feast towhich the rich are invited and the poor are left out. If anyonerejects an invitation, he has rebelled against Allah and HisMessenger." (IT)
