Sahih al-Bukhari 7342 (Book 96, Hadith 70) #7045
Welcoming Guests with Hospitality

SUMMARY: Abdullah bin Salam welcomed Abu Burda to Medina and invited him to his house, where he was offered Sawiq and dates. He then prayed in the mosque of Abdullah bin Salam.

Narrated Abu Burda: When I arrived at Medina, 'Abdullah bin Salam met me and said to me, "Accompany me to my house so that I may make you drink from a bowl from which Allah's Messenger used to drink, and that you may offer prayer in the mosque in which the Prophet used to pray". I accompanied him, and he made me drink Sawiq and gave me dates to eat, and then I prayed in his mosque.
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَقِيَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ فَقَالَ لِي انْطَلِقْ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَأَسْقِيَكَ فِي قَدَحٍ شَرِبَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، وَتُصَلِّي فِي مَسْجِدٍ صَلَّى فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ ‏.‏ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ، فَسَقَانِي سَوِيقًا، وَأَطْعَمَنِي تَمْرًا، وَصَلَّيْتُ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ‏.‏
