حديث أَبي شُرَيْحٍ الْعَدَوِيّ قَالَ: سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ وَأَبْصَرَتْ عَيْنَايَ حِينَ تَكَلَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ جَارَهُ، وَمَنْ كانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ جائِزَتُهُ، قَالَ: وَما جاِئِزَتُهُ يا رَسُولَ اللهِ قالَ: يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ، وَالضِّيافَةُ َثلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَما كانَ َوراءَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ َعلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ كانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ.
Abu Shuraih Al-Adawi Narrated from:
My ears heard and my eyes saw the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when he spoke, “Whosoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day, should serve his neighbour generously, and whosoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day should serve his guest generously by giving him his reward.”It was asked, “What is his reward, O Allâh’s Messenger”. He said, “(To be entertained generously) for a day and a night with high quality of food, and the guest has the right to be entertained for three days (with ordinary food) and if he stays longer, what he will be provided with, will be regarded as Sadaqa (a charitable gift). And whosoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet (i.e. abstain from all kinds of dirty and evil talks e.g. abusing, lying, backbiting etc.).” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 48, Vol. 8)
