32.6 If a guest is found in the courtyard in the morning

٣٢۔٦ بَابُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ بِفِنَائِهِ

A guest’s overnight hospitality is a duty

adab:744Abū Nuʿaym > Sufyān > Manṣūr > al-Shaʿbī > al-Miqdām Abū Karīmah al-Shāmī

The Prophet ﷺ said: “The hospitality of a guest for one night is a right and an obligation upon every Muslim. Whoever finds a guest in his courtyard in the morning, it is a debt upon him; if he wishes, he may demand it, and if he wishes, he may forgo it.”

الأدب المفرد:٧٤٤حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ الشَّامِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «لَيْلَةُ الضَّيْفِ حَقٌّ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ، فَمَنْ أَصْبَحَ بِفِنَائِهِ فَهُوَ دَيْنٌ عَلَيْهِ، إِنْ شَاءَ فَإِنْ شَاءَ اقْتَضَاهُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ».
