Recommendation to make dua for the host

abudawud:3853Muḥammad b. Bashhār > Abū Aḥmad > Sufyān > Yazīd Abū Khālid al-Dālānī > a man > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

Abu al-Haytham b. al-Tayhan prepared some food for the Prophet ﷺ and invited the Prophet ﷺ and his companions. When they had finished, he said: “Reward your brother.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, and what is his reward?” He said: “When a man is visited in his home and his food is eaten and his beverage is drunk, and they make dua for him, that is rewarding him.”

أبو داود:٣٨٥٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الدَّالاَنِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

صَنَعَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بْنُ التَّيْهَانِ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ طَعَامًا فَدَعَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغُوا قَالَ: «أَثِيبُوا أَخَاكُمْ»، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا إِثَابَتُهُ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا دُخِلَ بَيْتُهُ فَأُكِلَ طَعَامُهُ وَشُرِبَ شَرَابُهُ، فَدَعَوْا لَهُ، فَذَلِكَ إِثَابَتُهُ».

Dua for host when they offer you iftar to break your fast

abudawud:3854Makhlad b. Khālid > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Thābit > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ came to Saad b. Ubadah, who brought bread and oil, and he ate. Then the Prophet ﷺ said:

"afṭara ʿindakumu al-ṣāʾimūn, wa-akala ṭaʿāmakumu al-abrār, wa-ṣallat ʿalaykumu al-malāʾikah"

(May those who fast break their fast with you, may the righteous eat your food, and may the angels make dua for you.)

أبو داود:٣٨٥٤حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءَ إِلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَجَاءَ بِخُبْزٍ وَزَيْتٍ فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ:

«أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الأَبْرَارُ وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ».
