Hadith of Zuhayr ibn 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، ٢٠٣٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ،، ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْوَرَ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: كَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَعْرُوفٌ، أَيْ يُثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا، يُقَالُ لَهُ: زُهَيْرُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْوَلِيمَةُ حَقٌّ، وَالْيَوْمُ الثَّانِي مَعْرُوفٌ، وَالْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ سُمْعَةٌ وَرِيَاءٌ " (١)، ،

Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that there was a well-known person in the tribe of Thaqif whose one eye did not function; his real name was Zuhair bin Uthman. He says that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The wedding feast (walimah) is a right; serving food on the second day is a good deed, and serving food on the third day is for fame and show.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَعْوَرَ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: مَعْرُوفٌ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ اسْمُهُ زُهَيْرَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ، فَلَا أَدْرِي مَا اسْمُهُ؟، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْوَلِيمَةُ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ حَقٌّ، وَالثَّانِي مَعْرُوفٌ، وَالْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ سُمْعَةٌ وَرِيَاءٌ " (١)، ،
