Recommendation to make dua for the host
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.”
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
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.)
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».
