باب مَا جَاءَ فِي الضِّيَافَةِ

English narration

Narrated by المقدام بن معدي كرب الكندي

Narrated AbuKarimah: The Prophet ﷺ said: It is a duty of every Muslim (to provide hospitality) to a guest for a night. If anyone comes in the morning to his house, it is a debt due to him. If he wishes, he may fulfil it, and if he wishes he may leave it.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، وَخَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

لَيْلَةُ الضَّيْفِ حَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ ، فَمَنْ أَصْبَحَ بِفِنَائِهِ فَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اقْتَضَى وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ
