Ayat
66. And We made known
this decree to him, that the root of those (sinners) was to be cut off in the
early morning.
Ayat
67. And the inhabitants of the city came rejoicing
(at the news of the young men's arrival).
Ayat
68. [Lout (Lot)] said: "Verily! these are my guests,
so shame me not.
Ayat
69. "And fear Allah and disgrace me not."
Hazrat Abu Shuraih Khuwailid bin Amr Al-Khuza'i
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) saying, "He who believes in Allah and the Last
Day, should accommodate his guest according to his right.'' He was asked: "What
is his right, O Messenger of Allah?'' He [SAWW](PBUH) replied: "It is (to accommodate him) for a day
and a night, and hospitality extends for three days, and what is beyond that is
charity.''
it is added: Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "It is not permissible for a Muslim to stay
so long with his brother till he makes him sinful.'' He was asked: "O Messenger
of Allah, how can he make him sinful?'' He replied, "He prolongs his stay with
him till nothing is left with the host to entertain him (guest).''
[Muslim
Book.18, Chapter 13, Hadith #
4287].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al- Hjir Ayat.
"Verily! these are my guests, so shame me not. This
Hadith throws light on something more of the etiquette and scope of hospitality.
A guest ought to be given the best entertainment on the first day and night. For
the next two days, hospitality should be moderate. On the fourth day, the guest
should leave for his destination. Yet if he chooses to stay, hospitality will be
in the sense of charity.
