Riyad as-Salihin 706 (Book 1, Hadith 27) #37195
Accommodating Guests with Hospitality

SUMMARY: A Muslim should accommodate their guest according to their right, which is for a day and a night, and hospitality extends for three days.

Abu Shuraih Khuwailid bin 'Amr Al-Khuza'i (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah saying, "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day, should accommodate his guest according to his right". He was asked: "What is his right, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied: "It is (to accommodate him) for a day and a night, and hospitality extends for three days, and what is beyond that is charity". Al-Bukhari and Muslim. In Muslim it is added: Messenger of Allah said, "It is not permissible for a Muslim to stay so long with his brother till he makes him sinful". He was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, how can he make him sinful?" He replied, "He prolongs his stay with him till nothing is left with the host to entertain him (guest)".
وعن أبي شريح خويلد بن عمرو الخزاعي رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله يقول‏:‏ ‏"‏من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليكرم ضيفه جائزته‏"‏ قالوا‏:‏ وما جائزته يا رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏"‏يومه وليلته‏.‏ والضيافة ثلاثة أيام، فما كان وراء ذلك فهو صدقة عليه” ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏ وفي ‏(‏‏(‏رواية لمسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏:‏ ‏"‏لا يحل لمسلم أن يقيم عند أخيه حتى يؤثمة‏"‏ قالوا‏:‏ يا رسول الله ، وكيف يؤثمه‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏يقيم عنده ولا شيء له يقريه به‏"‏‏.‏

This hadith from Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) teaches us the importance of hospitality when it comes to accommodating guests. It is important that we treat our guests with respect and kindness by providing them with what they need during their stay. We should not overstay our welcome or make our host feel uncomfortable in any way. The hadith also mentions that hospitality extends for three days; however, if the guest stays longer than this then it becomes an act of charity on behalf of the host. This shows us how generous we should be when it comes to welcoming others into our homes. Furthermore, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also warns against staying too long as this can lead to sinning against one another due to lack of resources or feeling uncomfortable in each other's presence.

Overall, this hadith teaches us about the importance of being hospitable towards others and how generosity can go a long way in making someone feel welcomed and appreciated in your home. It also reminds us not to overstay our welcome so as not to cause any discomfort between ourselves and those who are hosting us.
