Hadith 6019

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ وَأَبْصَرَتْ عَيْنَايَ حِينَ تَكَلَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ جَارَهُ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ جَائِزَتَهُ " ، قَالَ : وَمَا جَائِزَتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ ، وَالضِّيَافَةُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا كَانَ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ عَلَيْهِ ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ " .
Narrated Abu Shuraih Al-Adawi: My ears heard and my eyes saw the Prophet 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 Apostle?" 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 quite (i.e. abstain from all kinds of dirty and evil talks).

Hafiz Imran Ayyub Lahori
Understanding of the Hadith:
In the above-mentioned hadith and other similar narrations in which the negation of faith (iman) is mentioned along with the negation of certain virtuous acts, the intent is not to negate the reality of faith itself, but rather to negate the perfection (completeness) of faith. That is, if someone is not characterized by these qualities, then his faith is not complete; it does not mean that he has no faith at all.

Hadith Commentary:
The command to honor the neighbor varies according to individuals, circumstances, and place.
Its minimum level is to behave with good manners.
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has narrated a hadith from Mu'adh ibn Jabal radi Allahu anhu, from which the rights of the neighbor are understood.
The noble Companions radi Allahu anhum asked:
O Messenger of Allah! What are the rights of one neighbor over another? So he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“When he asks for a loan, give him a loan.
When he seeks help, assist him.
When he falls ill, visit him.
When he is in need, fulfill his need.
When he is destitute, look after him.
When he receives happiness, congratulate him.
If a calamity befalls him, console him.
When he dies, attend his funeral, and do not raise your walls higher than his from your house so that the natural air is not blocked (this may be done with his permission).
When you cook good food at home, give him some as well.
If you buy fruit, gift him some; if you cannot, then take it into your house secretly so that his children are not distressed.
If you see any shortcoming, conceal it.”
(Fath al-Bari: 10/548, and Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da‘ifah: 6/96, no. 2587)
Although this hadith is weak, in terms of meaning it appears to be correct.
And Allah knows best.
