78/85. Chapter:

To honour guest and to serve him

وَقَوْلِهِ: {ضَيْفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ}. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ يُقَالُ هُوَ زَوْرٌ وَهَؤُلَاءِ زَوْرٌ وَضَيْفٌ وَمَعْنَاهُ أَضْيَافُهُ وَزُوَّارُهُ لِأَنَّهَا مَصْدَرٌ مِثْلُ قَوْمٍ رِضًا وَعَدْلٍ يُقَالُ مَاءٌ غَوْرٌ وَبِئْرٌ غَوْرٌ وَمَاءَانِ غَوْرٌ وَمِيَاهٌ غَوْرٌ وَيُقَالُ الْغَوْرُ الْغَائِرُ لَا تَنَالُهُ الدِّلَاءُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ غُرْتَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ مَغَارَةٌ تَزَّاوَرُ تَمِيلُ مِنْ الزَّوَرِ وَالْأَزْوَرُ الْأَمْيَلُ

Sahih BukhariHadith Number 6137

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تَبْعَثُنَا فَنَنْزِلُ بِقَوْمٍ فَلاَ يَقْرُونَنَا فَمَا تَرَى، فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِنْ نَزَلْتُمْ بِقَوْمٍ فَأَمَرُوا لَكُمْ بِمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلضَّيْفِ فَاقْبَلُوا، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْهُمْ حَقَّ الضَّيْفِ الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated `Uqba bin 'Amir: We said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You send us out and it happens that we have to stay with such people as do not entertain us. What do you think about it?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us, "If you stay with some people and they entertain you as they should for a guest, accept is; but if they do not do then you should take from them the right of the guest, which they ought to give."
