Hadith text

Narrated Abu Shuraih Al-Adawi:My ears heard and my eyes saw the Prophet (ﷺ) when he spoke, "Anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his neighbor generously, and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should serve his guest generously by giving him his reward." It was asked. "What is his reward, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said, "(To be entertained generously) for a day and a night with high quality of food and the guest has the right to be entertained for three days (with ordinary food) and if he stays longer, what he will be provided with will be regarded as Sadaqa (a charitable gift). And anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet (i.e. abstain from all kinds of dirty and evil talks)

Abu Shuraih Al-Adawi bataate hain: Meri kaanon ne suna aur meri aankhon ne dekha jab Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Jo Allah aur Aakhirat ke din par Iman rakhta hai, use apne padosi ki achhi khidmat karni chaahiye, aur jo Allah aur Aakhirat ke din par Iman rakhta hai, use apne mehmaan ki khidmat karni chaahiye, uska haq adaa karte hue.' Pucha gaya, 'Uska haq kya hai, Aye Allah ke Rasool?' Unhone kaha, '(Achhi mehmaan-nawaazi) ek din aur raat behtareen khaane ke saath, aur mehmaan ko teen din tak (aam khaane ke saath) mehmaan-nawaazi ka haq hai, aur agar wo isse zyaada rahe, to jo bhi use diya jaayega wo Sadqa mana jaayega. Aur jo Allah aur Aakhirat ke din par Iman rakhta hai, use achhi baat kehni chaahiye ya khaamosh rehna chaahiye (yaani har tarah ki ganda aur buri baat se bachna chaahiye).'
