Al-Adab Al-Mufrad #345

Visitation

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ‏:‏ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ‏:‏ لاَ تُكْرِمْ صَدِيقَكَ بِمَا يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ‏.‏
Ibn 'Awn reported, "They used to say, 'Do not honour your guest in a way which will be burdensome for him.'"
