ahmad:11726

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honor his guest." He repeated this three times. Someone asked, "What is the honor of the guest, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "It is to host him for three days. Whatever he stays after that, it will be charity for him."  

أحمد:١١٧٢٦وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا قَالَ وَمَا كَرَامَةُ الضَّيْفِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا جَلَسَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ

"مَنْ كَانَ يُؤمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَليَقُل خَيرًا أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فليُكْرمْ ضَيفَهُ، وَالضيافَةُ ثَلاثُ لَيَالٍ فَمَا كَانَ وَرَاءَ ذلِك فَهُوَ صدَقَةٌ".
