Sahih al-Bukhari 5154 (Book 67, Hadith 89) #4935
Invoking Good Upon Others

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) provided a good meal for the Muslims on the occasion of his marriage to Zainab and went out to visit his wives, but left when he saw two men still sitting there.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet offered a wedding banquet on the occasion of his marriage to Zainab, and provided a good meal for the Muslims. Then he went out as was his custom on marrying, he came to the dwelling places of the mothers of the Believers (ie his wives) invoking good (on them), and they were invoking good (on him). Then he departed (and came back) and saw two men (still sitting there). So he left again. I do not remember whether I informed him or he was informed (by somebody else) of their departure).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ أَوْلَمَ النَّبِيُّ بِزَيْنَبَ فَأَوْسَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا فَخَرَجَ ـ كَمَا يَصْنَعُ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ ـ فَأَتَى حُجَرَ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَدْعُو وَيَدْعُونَ ‏{‏لَهُ‏}‏ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَرَأَى رَجُلَيْنِ فَرَجَعَ لاَ أَدْرِي آخْبَرْتُهُ أَوْ أُخْبِرَ بِخُرُوجِهِمَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's marriage to Zainab and how he showed kindness and generosity by providing a good meal for the Muslims. He then went out as was his custom on marrying, visiting each of his wives in turn and invoking good upon them. When he returned, he saw two men still sitting there so he left again. This hadith teaches us that it is important to be generous with others, especially during special occasions like weddings or other celebrations. It also shows us that we should always be mindful of our manners and respect other people's time by not overstaying our welcome in their presence. Furthermore, it encourages us to invoke blessings upon others as this is an act of worship which will bring reward from Allah SWT.
