٣٢۔ كتاب الضيف والنفقة

32.5 Should not stay so long that the host gets tired

٣٢۔٥ بَابُ لا يُقِيمُ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ

Not overstaying the welcome so as to embarrass the host

adab:743Ismāʿīl > Mālik > Saʿīd al-Maqburī > Abū Shurayḥ al-Kaʿbī

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest: his due is one day and one night, and hospitality is for three days; whatever is beyond that is charity. And it is not lawful for him to stay with him until he embarrasses him.”

الأدب المفرد:٧٤٣حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْكَعْبِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ، فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ جَائِزَتَهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ، وَالضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ، فَمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَثْوِيَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ».
