3576. 'Abdullāh bin Busr narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stayed with my father." So he said: "We brought some food near him, so he ate from it, then he was brought dates, so he would eat it and cast the pit with his two fingers" - he joined between his forefinger and middle finger - Shu'bah said: "And that is what I think concerning it, if Allāh wills," - "and he cast the pit between two fingers, then he was brought drink, so he drank it and then passed it to the one on his right." He said: "So my father said - as he took hold of the rein of his beast: 'Supplicate for us.' So he
said: 'O Allāh, bless for them what You have provided them, and forgive them, and have mercy on them (Allāhuma Bārak Lahum Fī Mā Razaqtahum Wāghfir Lahum Wārhamhum)"' (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
This narration shows that a guest should be treated warmly and honorably. He should be given respect and the best food available with the host. At the time of his departure, he should be bade farewell in an honorable way and he should be requested to supplicate for them. The Prophet ﷺ summed up all the benefits and prosperities of this world and the Hereafter in this supplication.
