"إِنْ نَزَلْتُمْ بقَوْمٍ فَأَمَرُوا لَكُم بمَا يَنْبَغىِ للضَّيْفِ فَاقْبَلُوا. وَإنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَخُذُوا منْهُمْ حَقَّ الضَّيْفِ الَّذى يَنْبَغِى لَهُمْ" .

قُلْنَا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّكَ تَبْعَثُنَا فَنَنْزِلُ بِقَوْمٍ لاَ يَقْرُونَا فَمَا تَرَى فِيهِ فَقَالَ لَنَا إِنْ نَزَلْتُمْ بِقَوْمٍ فَأُمِرَ لَكُمْ بِمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلضَّيْفِ فَاقْبَلُوا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْهُمْ حَقَّ الضَّيْفِ
