Back to today's daily hadith
manners

Honour your guest

مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ

Man kana yu'minu billahi wa-l-yawmi-l-akhiri fa-l-yukrim dayfah.

"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him honour his guest."

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah. Sahih al-Bukhari 6018, Sahih Muslim 47

A short reflection

The same hadith continues: let him speak good or be silent, let him honour his neighbour. Three behaviours pegged directly to iman, not to taste.
