Meizbaan aur Mahman

Meizbaan aur Mahman

Narrated Abu Shuraih Al-Ka`bi RadiyAllahu Anhu: Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, Whoever believes in ALLAH and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously. The guest's reward is: To provide him with a superior type of food for a night and a day and a guest is to be entertained with food for three days, and whatever is offered beyond that, is regarded as something given in charity. And it is not lawfulfor a guest to stay with his host for such a long period so as to put him in a critical position."
[Sahih al-Bukhari :: Vol. 8 :: Book 73 :: Hadith 156, 6135]
✦Urdu Translation: Hazrat Abu Shuraih Al-Ka`bi RadiyAllahu Anhu se riwayat hai ke RasoolAllah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam ne Irshad farmaya: "Jo shaks ALLAH aur Aakhirat ke din par Iman rakhta ho use chahiye ke wo apne Mahman ka Ikram kare, Mahman ki khususi ziyafat (khatir dari) Aik din aur aik raat tak hai, aur umumi Ziyafat teen din aur teen raaton tak, teen Din baad bhi (agar meizban bojh na samjhe aur) Mahman ki ziyafat kare to ye Sadaqah shumar hoga, Mahman ko chahiye ke wo apne Meizban ke paas itne din na tahre ke Meizban harj aur Tangi mein par jaye."
