Chapter: When the Guest Is Deprived in the Morning
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 745 — When the Guest Is Deprived in the Morning
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّكَ تَبْعَثُنَا فَنَنْزِلُ بِقَوْمٍ فَلا يَقْرُونَا ، فَمَا تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ لَنَا : ”إِنْ نَزَلْتُمْ بِقَوْمٍ فَأُمِرَ لَكُمْ بِمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلضَّيْفِ فَاقْبَلُوا ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْهُمْ حَقَّ الضَّيْفِ الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ.“
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."
