English translation
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA):
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The worst kind of food is that at a wedding feast from which those who come (i.e. the poor) are turned away, and to which those who refuse (i.e. the rich) are invited. If anyone does not accept an invitation he has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger." [Reported by Muslim].
