(Book 28, Hadith 48) #36208
Celebrating Without Meat or Bread

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad held a wedding feast without meat or bread.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "I have heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, held a wedding feast in which there was neither meat nor bread".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يُولِمُ بِالْوَلِيمَةِ مَا فِيهَا خُبْزٌ وَلاَ لَحْمٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad was known for his generosity and hospitality. He once held a wedding feast in which there was neither meat nor bread. This shows that it is possible to celebrate without having to spend money on expensive food items. It also teaches us the value of abstinence and moderation in our celebrations, as well as the importance of being content with what we have. We can learn from this hadith that it is possible to be generous and hospitable even when we do not have much money or resources available to us.

The Prophet Muhammad's example teaches us that we should be grateful for what we have and not feel the need to overspend on lavish feasts just because it is expected of us by society. We can still show our love and appreciation for those around us without having to go overboard with spending money on food items that are unnecessary or extravagant. Instead, we should focus on creating meaningful experiences with those around us through conversation, laughter, and shared memories rather than material possessions such as food items at a wedding feast.
