Hadith 3677
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ , عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ , عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَيْلَةُ الضَّيْفِ وَاجِبَةٌ , فَإِنْ أَصْبَحَ بِفِنَائِهِ فَهُوَ دَيْنٌ عَلَيْهِ , فَإِنْ شَاءَ اقْتَضَى وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ " .
´It was narrated that Miqdam Abu Karimah said:` "The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: ' Putting up a guest for one night is obligatory. If you find a guest at your door in the morning, then this (hospitality) is (like) a debt that you (the host) owe him. If he (the guest) wants, he may request it, and if he wants, he may leave it'"
