حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلَا يُؤْذِ جَارَهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should not harm his neighbor, and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should entertain his guest generously and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet. (i.e. abstain from all kinds of evil and dirty talk).”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি আল্লাহ ও আখিরাতের দিনে বিশ্বাস রাখে, সে যেন তার মেহমানকে সম্মান করে। যে আল্লাহ ও শেষ দিনে বিশ্বাস রাখে, সে যেন তার প্রতিবেশীকে জ্বালাতন না করে। যে লোক আল্লাহ ও শেষ দিনে বিশ্বাস রাখে, সে যেন ভাল কথা বলে, অথবা চুপ থাকে। [৫১৮৫; মুসলিম ১/১৯, হাঃ ৪৭, আহমাদ ৭৬৩০]

ہم سے قتیبہ بن سعید نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے ابوالاحوص نے بیان، ان سے ابوحصین نے، ان سے ابوصالح نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”جو کوئی اللہ اور آخرت کے دن پر ایمان رکھتا ہو وہ اپنے پڑوسی کو تکلیف نہ پہنچائے اور جو کوئی اللہ اور آخرت کے دن پر ایمان رکھتا ہو وہ اپنے مہمان کی عزت کرے اور جو کوئی اللہ اور آخرت کے دن پر ایمان رکھتا ہو وہ اچھی بات زبان سے نکالے ورنہ خاموش رہے۔“

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah bin Sa'id] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Al Ahwash] dari [Abu Hashin] dari [Abu Shalih] dari [Abu Hurairah] dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Barangsiapa berimana kepada Allah dan hari Akhir, janganlah ia mengganggu tetangganya, barangsiapa beriman kepada Allah dan hari Akhir hendaknya ia memuliakan tamunya dan barangsiapa beriman kepada Allah dan hari Akhir hendaknya ia berkata baik atau diam

Ebu Hureyre (r.a.)'dan, dedi ki: "Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: Aııah'a ve ahiret gününe iman eden bir kimse komşusuna eziyet vermesin. Allah'a ve ahiret gününe iman eden bir kimse misafirine ikram etsin. Allah'a ve ahiret gününe iman eden bir kimse ya hayır söylesin yahut sussun." Diğer tahric edenler: Tirmizi Kıyame; Müslim, İman

What it means

The Hadīth of Abu Shurayh al-Khuzā‘i (may Allah be pleased with him) highlights the principle of honoring and serving the guest. He reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day let him honor his guest." And this is meant to encourage and urge honoring the guest, and it means that honoring the guest is a sign of belief in Allah and the Last Day and perfect faith in Allah and the Last Day.

Some of the ways one can honor guests: meeting him with a cheerful face, saying good words to him, and offering him food for three days. On the first day, he should be generous to him as much as he can, and on the remaining days he serves him from what he can afford without going beyond what is normal, so that he does not burden the guest or himself.

After the three days, it is considered charity. If he wishes to (continue) he may, and if not he may desist. Regarding his statement: "Let him honor his guest with his due reward for a day and a night, and hospitality is three days", the scholars said that 'reward' means giving much care to the guest for a day and a night and present to him as much kindness and goodness as he can.

As for the second and third days, he feeds him what is available with him, and he does not exceed what is customary. What is beyond three days is charity and favor. If he wishes he may do so and if he wishes he may desist. In the version of Muslim: "And it is not lawful for him to stay at his home to the point that he causes him to sin", meaning it is not permissible for the guest to stay at the host's home more than three days until he causes him to fall into sin, as he may backbite him for overstaying, say indirect speech that may offense him, or have unlawful suspicions of him.

All this applies in case the guest stays beyond three days without an invitation from the host. The standard of honoring the guest differs depending on the condition of the guest; a noble person should be honored with what is befitting for him, a middle-class person should be honored with what is befitting for him, and there are others who are below that.
