Chapter 18 · The Book of Marriageوحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلزُّهْرِيِّ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، كَيْفَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ: شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ؟ فَضَحِكَ، فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ هُوَ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَكَانَ أَبِي غَنِيًّا، فَأَفْزَعَنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ حِينَ سَمِعْتُ بِهِ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ الزُّهْرِيَّ، فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ.

I said to Zuhri: Abu Bakr, what does this hadith mean: The worst kind of food is at a wedding feast of the rich ? He laughed and said: The food served in the feast given by the rich is not worst (in itself). Sufyan said: My father was rich, so I felt disturbed when I heard this hadith, so I asked Zuhri who said: I heard from 'Abdul-Rahman al-Alraj that he heard Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) say: The worst kind of food is that served at the wedding feast. The rest of the hadith is the same.
