905 – Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The worst food is the food of a wedding banquet: those who are willing to come are kept away from it, while those who dislike it are invited to it. Whoever fails to answer the invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.” Reported by Muslim. ⦗1⦘

Vocabulary of the ḥadith
– sharr (worst): evil or wrongdoing; plural shurūr. In morphology it belongs to the comparative/superlative pattern afʿal. Strictly speaking it should appear as asharr, but the hamzah is commonly dropped due to frequent usage; retaining it is permissible yet rare. The word khayr (best) follows the same pattern.
– yumnaʿuhā: passive form, meaning “is held back from it.”
