حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِکٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ کَانَ يَقُولُ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَی لَهَا الْأَغْنِيَائُ وَيُتْرَکُ الْفُقَرَائُ وَمَنْ تَرَکَ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَی اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
