Accepting Invitations

SUMMARY: It is important to accept invitations to meals and one can choose whether or not they wish to eat.

Jabir reported the Messenger of Allah as sayings: when one of you is invited to a meal, he must accept. If he wishes he may eat, but if he wishes(to leave), he may leave.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ دُعِيَ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَعِمَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ
