Abū Shurayh al-Ka‘bī said: “The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
• ‘Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak well or be silent.
• Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous in entertaining his guest - a day and a night.
• Hospitality is (for) three days. Whatever is more than that is Sadaqa (charity).
• It is not lawful for the guest to stay with his host to the point that he causes him inconvenience.’ ”
(Authentic)
(Commentary: The stage that follows the periods of Jaaizah, Diyaafah and Sadaqah is when the guest becomes a burden to his host! This is prohibited. It is evidence for the weak faith in whoever does that. However, this does not include when the host himself requests the stay or when it is most preponderant to the guest that he is not of any sort of burden to the host. Yet, it is from strong faith to avoid whatever may lead to a sin.)
