Sahih Muslim 1431 (Book 16, Hadith 123) #10658
The Importance of Accepting Invitations

SUMMARY: It is important to accept invitations and if one is fasting, they should pray for the host, and if not fasting, they should eat.

Abu Haraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger as saying: If any one of you is invited, he should accept (the invitation). In case he is fasting, he should pray (in order to bless the inmates of the house), and if he is not fasting he should eat.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا فَلْيُصَلِّ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيَطْعَمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of accepting invitations. It teaches us that when we are invited to something, we should accept it as a sign of respect for the host. If we are fasting at the time of invitation, then instead of eating or drinking anything, we can offer prayers for them in order to bless them. However, if one is not fasting then they should eat whatever has been offered by their host as a sign of appreciation and gratitude. This hadith also teaches us about being courteous and respectful towards others which is an important value in Islam.
