6137. Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Āmir رضي الله عنه: We said, "O Allāh's Messenger! You send us out and it happens that we have to stay with such people as do not entertain us. What do you think about it?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to us, "If you stay with some people and they entertain you as they should for a guest, accept it; but if they do not do then you should take from them the right of the guest, which they ought to give."
6137 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الخَيْرِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ تَبْعَثُنَا، فَنَنْزِلُ بِقَوْمٍ فَلاَ 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»
