Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
adab:344

Ibn 'Awn reported, "They used to say, 'Do not honour your guest in a way which will be burdensome for him.'"  

الأدب المفرد:٣٤٤حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ

عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ لاَ تُكْرِمْ صَدِيقَكَ بِمَا يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ
