Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ‏:‏ قُلْتُ‏:‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّكَ تَبْعَثُنَا فَنَنْزِلُ بِقَوْمٍ فَلاَ يَقْرُونَا، فَمَا تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ‏؟‏ فَقَالَ لَنَا‏:‏ إِنْ نَزَلْتُمْ بِقَوْمٍ فَأُمِرَ لَكُمْ بِمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلضَّيْفِ فَاقْبَلُوا، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْهُمْ حَقَّ الضَّيْفِ الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ‏.‏

‘Uqba ibn ‘Amir said: I said: “Messenger of Allah, you send us out, and we stay with a people who do not receive us. What do you think we should do?” He said to us: “If you stay with a people and they provide for you what is due to a guest, accept it. If they do not, then take from them the guest’s due that they ought to provide.”
