It is narrated from Abdullah bin Uthman Thaqafi. A blind man from Thaqif, who was known among people for his goodness, said—his name was Zuhair bin Uthman, and if it was not this name, then I do not know what his name was. He said that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The food of the wedding feast (walimah) is necessary on the first day, better on the second day (that is, one should invite and accept the invitation), and the walimah on the third day is for show and ostentation." Qatadah said: A person told me that Sa'id bin al-Musayyib was invited on the first day and he accepted, he also accepted the invitation on the second day, but he did not accept the invitation on the third day and said that these people are seeking fame and show.
