Muwatta Malik #1817
The Description of the Prophet, may Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from Abu Shurayh al-Kabi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last
Day should speak good or be silent. Whoever believes in Allah and the
Last Day should be generous to his neighbour. Whoever believes in
Allah and the Last Day, should be generous to his guest. His welcome
is for a day and a night, and his hospitality is for three days.
Whatever is more than that is sadaqa. It is not halal for a guest to
stay with a man until he becomes a burden."
