حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْكَعْبِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَجَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ وَمَا أُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ وَلاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَثْوِيَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَاللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَأَبُو شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ هُوَ الْكَعْبِيُّ وَهُوَ الْعَدَوِيُّ اسْمُهُ خُوَيْلِدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو . وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ " لاَ يَثْوِي عِنْدَهُ " . يَعْنِي الضَّيْفَ لاَ يُقِيمُ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَنْزِلِ وَالْحَرَجُ هُوَ الضِّيقُ إِنَّمَا قَوْلُهُ " حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ " . يَقُولُ حَتَّى يُضَيِّقَ عَلَيْهِ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Ibn Abi ‘Umar narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn ‘Ajlan, from Sa‘id al-Maqburi, from Abu Shurayh al-Ka‘bi, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Hospitality lasts three days, and the guest’s due hospitality is a day and a night. Whatever is spent on him after that is charity. It is not lawful for a guest to remain with his host until he causes him hardship.”
There are also reports on this topic from ‘A’ishah and Abu Hurayrah. Malik ibn Anas and al-Layth ibn Sa‘d also narrated it from Sa‘id al-Maqburi. Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. Abu Shurayh al-Khuza‘i is also known as al-Ka‘bi and al-‘Adawi; his name was Khuwaylid ibn ‘Amr.
The phrase “not remain with him” means that the guest should not stay until it becomes difficult for the homeowner. Haraj means constraint or hardship; “until he causes him hardship” means until he puts him in difficulty.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Ja’izah is the guest’s due hospitality of a day and a night; hospitality lasts three days, and anything spent after that is charity. The source explicitly glosses the restriction as not burdening the host.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَجَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ وَمَا أُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ وَلاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَثْوِيَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ " .
Ja’izah means the guest’s due hospitality, specified as one day and one night, rather than a reward paid to the guest.
Should ‘guest’s due hospitality’ be preferred to ‘reward’?
يَعْنِي الضَّيْفَ لاَ يُقِيمُ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يَشْتَدَّ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَنْزِلِ وَالْحَرَجُ هُوَ الضِّيقُ إِنَّمَا قَوْلُهُ " حَتَّى يُحْرِجَهُ " .
The compiler explains that the guest must not remain until the stay becomes difficult for the homeowner.
Should this explanation be included as a separate gloss after the hadith?
وَأَبُو شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ هُوَ الْكَعْبِيُّ وَهُوَ الْعَدَوِيُّ اسْمُهُ خُوَيْلِدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو .
The compiler identifies Abu Shurayh by several nisbahs and gives his name as Khuwaylid ibn ‘Amr.
Should the full identification be retained?
