Hospitality

1.  Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his guest; whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should not annoy his neighbors; and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should say what is good or keep silent.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

2.  It is part of my way that a person should accompany his guest to the door of the house (when he leaves).
(Ibn Majah, Baihaqi).

3. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his guest. Provisions for the road are what will serve for a day and night; hospitality extends for three days; what goes beyond that is charity; and it is not allowable that a guest should stay till he makes himself an encumbrance.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

4.  Eat together and not separately, for blessings are associated with the group.
(Ibn Majah).
