3752. It was narrated that ‘Uqbah bin ‘Āmir said: “We said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, sometimes you send us, and we stay with people who do not show us any hospitality. What do you think?’ The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to us: ‘If you stay with people, and they order that you be given what a guest is entitled to, then accept it, but if they do not do that, then take from them what a guest is entitled.’”” (Ṣaḥīh) Abū Dāwūd said: This is proof that a man may take something if it is due to him.

Arabic text

3752 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ تَبْعَثُنَا فَنَنْزِلُ بِقَوْمٍ فَمَا يَقْرُونَنَا، فَمَا تَرَى؟ فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِنْ نَزَلْتُمْ بِقَوْمٍ فَأَمَرُوا لَكُمْ بِمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلضَّيْفِ فَاقْبَلُوا، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْهُمْ حَقَّ الضَّيْفِ الَّذِي يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَهَذِهِ حُجَّةٌ لِلرَّجُلِ يَأْخُذُ الشَّيْءَ إِذَا كَانَ لَهُ حَقًّا»
