Sunan Abi Dawud 1588 (Book 9, Hadith 33) #21880
Welcoming Guests with Kindness

SUMMARY: Welcome and treat guests with kindness, even if they are not liked by you, as it is a way of perfecting your zakat.

Narrated Jabir ibn Atik: The Prophet said: Riders who are objects of dislike to you will come to you, but you must welcome them when they come to you, and give them a free hand regarding what they desire. If they are just, they will receive credit for it, but if they are unjust, they will be held responsible. Please them, for the perfection of your zakat consists in their good pleasure, and let them ask a blessing for you . Abu Dawud said: The name of the narrator Abu al-Ghusn is Thabit bin Qais bin Ghusn.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْغُصْنِ، عَنْ صَخْرِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ سَيَأْتِيكُمْ رَكْبٌ مُبَغَّضُونَ فَإِذَا جَاءُوكُمْ فَرَحِّبُوا بِهِمْ وَخَلُّوا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَبْتَغُونَ فَإِنْ عَدَلُوا فَلأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَإِنْ ظَلَمُوا فَعَلَيْهَا وَأَرْضُوهُمْ فَإِنَّ تَمَامَ زَكَاتِكُمْ رِضَاهُمْ وَلْيَدْعُوا لَكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَبُو الْغُصْنِ هُوَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ غُصْنٍ
