[Machine] On the authority of Abu Shurayh Al 'Adawi from Khuzay'ah, who was one of the Companions, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Hospitality is three days, and its extension is a day and a night. It is not permissible for anyone to stay with his brother until he causes him inconvenience." So they said, "O Messenger of Allah, what causes inconvenience?" He said: "He stays with him and does not find anything to feed him."

عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثٌ وَجَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌوَلَيْلَةٌ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عِنْدَ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يُؤْثِمَهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا يُؤْثِمُهُ؟ قَالَ يُقِيمُ عِنْدَهُ وَلَا يَجِدُ شَيْئًا يَقُوتُهُ

(The period of the entertainment of a guest is three days, and utmost kindness and courtesy is for a day and a night. =" It is not permissible for a Muslim to stay with, his brother until he makes him sinful.
