Sahih Muslim 48c (Book 31, Hadith 16) #11624
Hospitality and Courtesy

SUMMARY: A Muslim should not stay with his brother for too long, as it may lead to the host running out of resources to entertain the guest.

Abu Shuriah al-Khuza'i reported Allah's Messenger as saying: (The period of the entertainment of a guest is three days, and utmost kindness and courtesy is for a day and a night. =" It is not permissible for a Muslim to stay with, his brother until he makes him sinful. They said: Messenger of Allah, how he would make him sinful? He (the Holy Prophet) said: He stays with him (so long) that nothing is left with him to entertain him.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ الضِّيَافَةُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَجَائِزَتُهُ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ وَلاَ يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُقِيمَ عِنْدَ أَخِيهِ حَتَّى يُؤْثِمَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ يُؤْثِمُهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ يُقِيمُ عِنْدَهُ وَلاَ شَىْءَ لَهُ يَقْرِيهِ بِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of hospitality and courtesy when entertaining a guest. It is important to be kind and generous when hosting someone, but it is also important not to overstay one's welcome. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that a guest should only be entertained for three days, after which they should leave so that their host does not run out of resources or become burdened by their presence. This hadith also teaches us about being mindful of our actions around others; we must ensure that our behavior does not lead them into sin or cause them any harm. We must always strive to maintain good relationships with those around us, even if they are guests in our home.
