Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَيْلَةُ الضَّيْفِ وَاجِبَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَإِنْ أَصْبَحَ بِفِنَائِهِ مَحْرُومًا كَانَ دَيْنًا لَهُ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اقْتَضَاهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ.
English Translation
Yahya b. Sa'id narrated to us: Shu'ba narrated to us: Mansur narrated to me, from al-Sha'bi, from al-Miqdam b. Ma'dikarib Abu Karima, that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Hosting a guest for one night is obligatory upon every Muslim. If he spends the morning at his doorstep deprived, it becomes a debt owed to him; if he wishes he may claim it, and if he wishes he may forgo it."
