Sahih Muslim Book - 16, Hadith - 3522
وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلزُّهْرِىِّ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الأَغْنِيَاءِ فَضَحِكَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هُوَ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الأَغْنِيَاءِ. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَكَانَ أَبِى غَنِيًّا فَأَفْزَعَنِى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ حِينَ سَمِعْتُ بِهِ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ الزُّهْرِىَّ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَعْرَجُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامُ الْوَلِيمَةِ. ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ.
Sufyan said: "I said to Az-Zuhri: '0 Abu Bakr, what does this Hadith mean - "The worst of food is the food of the rich?" He laughed and said: It is not: 'The worst of food is the food of the rich."' Sufyan said: "My father was rich, and this Hadith troubled me when I heard it, so I asked Az-Zuhri about it. He said: ''Abdur Rahrman Al-A'raj told me that he heard Abu Hurairah say: "The worst of food is the food of a (wedding) feast..." then he quoted a Hadith like that of Malik (no. 3521)."'

"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
