Be generous with your guests; avoid unlawful practices; show kindness and hospitality.

This hadith narrated by Abu Burda speaks about the prohibition of usury. Usury is when someone owes you something and they offer you something else in return such as chopped straw, barley or provender. This practice is prohibited according to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). He advised that it should not be accepted as it is considered usurious and unlawful. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) also showed kindness and hospitality to those who visited him by offering them food such as sawiq and dates. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous with our guests but also warns against accepting any form of payment which would be considered unlawful according to Islamic teachings.
