Sunan Abi Dawud 3741 (Book 28, Hadith 6) #24031
The Importance of Invitations in Islam

SUMMARY: Accepting invitations and not entering without invitation is important in Islam.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet said: He who does not accept an invitation which he receives has disobeyed Allah and His Apostle, and he who enters without invitation enters as a thief and goes out as a raider. Abu Dawud said: Aban bin Tariq is unknown.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا دُرُسْتُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ طَارِقٍ، عَنْ طَارِقٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ دُعِيَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَمَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَى غَيْرِ دَعْوَةٍ دَخَلَ سَارِقًا وَخَرَجَ مُغِيرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَبَانُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ مَجْهُولٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of accepting invitations and not entering without one. It teaches us to be respectful and obedient to Allah and His Prophet by following their commands. We should always accept an invitation when it is given to us as it shows respect for the host. Furthermore, we should never enter a place without an invitation as this is considered disrespectful and akin to stealing or raiding.

The Prophet Muhammad also taught us that we should be kind and generous with our guests by providing them with hospitality during their stay. He said that whoever does not accept an invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Apostle which shows how important it is for Muslims to follow this commandment from Allah.
