أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى رَاعِي إِبِلٍ ، فَلْيُنَادِي : يَا رَاعِيَ الإِبِلِ ، ثَلاثًا ، فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ ، وَإِلا فَلْيَحْلِبْ وَلْيَشْرَبْ ، وَلا يَحْمِلَنَّ ، وَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى حَائِطٍ فَلْيُنَادِ ، ثَلاثًا : يَا أَصْحَابَ الْحَائِطِ ، فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ ، وَإِلا فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَلا يَحْمِلَنَّ " . قَالَ : قَالَ : وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ ، فَمَا زَادَ فَصَدَقَةٌ " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : أُضْمِرَ فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ عِلَّةُ الأَمْرِ ، وَهِيَ اضْطِرَارُ الْمَرْءِ وَحَاجَتُهُ إِلَيْهِ دُونَ تَلَفِ النَّفْسِ ، دُونَ الْقُدْرَةِ وَالسَّعَةِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person comes to the herders of camels (i.e., to the grazing camels), he should call out loudly three times: 'O herders of camels!' If they respond to him, then it is fine; otherwise, he may milk the camels and drink. And when a person comes to a garden, he should call out loudly three times: 'O people of the garden!' If they respond to him, then it is fine; otherwise, he may eat (dates from the garden), but he must not take anything away with him." The narrator states: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hospitality is for three days; whatever is beyond that is charity."
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The reason for this ruling is hidden in this narration, and that is the person being in a state of necessity and in need of these things so that his life is not lost. If a person has the means and ability (then he cannot take these things without the permission of the owners)."
