Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! You send us to some people and they do not host us. What do you command regarding this matter?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If you go to a people and they offer you something suitable for a guest, then accept it. And if they do not host you, then take from them the right of hospitality appropriate to them."
