حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ طَعَامُ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ حَقٌّ وَطَعَامُ يَوْمِ الثَّانِي سُنَّةٌ وَطَعَامُ يَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ سُمْعَةٌ وَمَنْ سَمَّعَ سَمَّعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ زِيَادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ وَزِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَثِيرُ الْغَرَائِبِ وَالْمَنَاكِيرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَذْكُرُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَعَ شَرَفِهِ لاَ يَكْذِبُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Basri narrated to us: Ziyad ibn Abdullah narrated to us: Ata ibn al-Sa'ib narrated to us, from Abu Abd al-Rahman, from Ibn Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: Food on the first day is a right, food on the second day is a sunnah, and food on the third day is for show. Whoever seeks to be heard of, Allah will make him heard of. Abu Isa said: We know the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud as a marfūʿ report only through the narration of Ziyad ibn Abdullah. Ziyad ibn Abdullah has many strange and objectionable reports. He said: I heard Muhammad ibn Isma'il relate from Muhammad ibn Uqbah, who said: Waki said, Ziyad ibn Abdullah, despite his standing, does not lie in hadith.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed

  • The Arabic distinguishes a right on the first day, a sunnah on the second, and ostentation or seeking reputation on the third.

  • قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ طَعَامُ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ حَقٌّ وَطَعَامُ يَوْمِ الثَّانِي سُنَّةٌ وَطَعَامُ يَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ سُمْعَةٌ وَمَنْ سَمَّعَ سَمَّعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.

    The word haqq can mean a right, due, or obligation; the Arabic gives no further qualification.
