Hadith text

Narrated Abu Shuraih Al-Ka`bi:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously. The guest's reward is: To provide him with a superior type of food for a night and a day and a guest is to be entertained with food for three days, and whatever is offered beyond that, is regarded as something given in charity. And it is not lawful for a guest to stay with his host for such a long period so as to put him in a critical position." Narrated Malik: Similarly as above (156) adding, "Who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet." (i.e. abstain from dirty and evil talk, and should think before uttering)

Abu Shuraih Al-Ka'bi bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Jo Allah aur Aakhirat ke din par Iman rakhta hai, use apne mehmaan ki achhi khidmat karni chaahiye. Mehmaan ka haq ye hai: use ek raat aur din behtareen khaana diya jaaye, aur mehmaan ki teen din tak khidmat ki jaani chaahiye, aur jo bhi isse zyaada diya jaaye, wo Sadqa mana jaayega. Aur mehmaan ke liye ye jaayez nahi ke wo apne mezbaan ke paas itni lambi muddat rahe ke wo unhein mushkil mein daal de.' Ravi Malik bataate hain aisa hi (156), aur izaafa karte hain, 'Jo Allah aur Aakhirat ke din par Iman rakhta hai, use achhi baat kehni chaahiye ya khaamosh rehna chaahiye (yaani ganda aur buri baat se bachna chaahiye, aur bolne se pehle sochna chaahiye).'
