Sahih al-Bukhari 3070 (Book 56, Hadith 275) #2935
Inviting People for a Meal

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was invited to a meal and he called out to the people of the Trench to come along.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I said, "O Allah's Messenger ! We have slaughtered a young sheep of ours and have ground one Sa of barley. So, I invite you along with some persons". So, the Prophet said in a loud voice, "O the people of the Trench! Jabir had prepared "Sur" so come along".
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِينَاءَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ذَبَحْنَا بُهَيْمَةً لَنَا، وَطَحَنْتُ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ، فَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ وَنَفَرٌ، فَصَاحَ النَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا أَهْلَ الْخَنْدَقِ، إِنَّ جَابِرًا قَدْ صَنَعَ سُؤْرًا، فَحَىَّ هَلاً بِكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about inviting people for a meal. It shows us that we should be generous and kind when it comes to sharing food with others. We should not be shy or embarrassed in inviting people over, even if we don't have much food. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was invited by Jabir bin 'Abdullah, who only had one Sa of barley and a young sheep, yet the Prophet ﷺ accepted his invitation without hesitation and even called out loudly so that everyone could hear him. This teaches us that we should always accept invitations from others, no matter how small or simple they may seem. We should also be generous in our invitations and make sure everyone knows about them so that no one is left out or forgotten.
