1967. Abū Shuraih Al-'Adawī said: "My eyes saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and my ears heard him when he was speaking, and he said: 'Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day, then let him honor his guest with his reward.' They said: 'What is his reward?' He said: 'A day and a night.' He said: 'And hospitality is for three days,
whatever is beyond that is charity. And whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day, then let him say what is good or keep silent.”[1] (Sahīh)

Commentary
It is the duty of every believer to welcome his guest with an open heart and serve as good a food to him for a day and night as he can afford. The next three days, he should serve him the kind of food he himself normally eats. If he has done it, then he has surely done his duty.
