Sahih al-Bukhari 5791 (Book 78, Hadith 50)
Last Day, should serve his neighbor generously, and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day
should serve his guest generously by giving him his reward.” It was asked. “What is his reward, O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” He said, “(To be entertained generously) for a day and a night with high quality of
food and the guest has the right to be entertained for three days (with ordinary food) and if he stays
longer, what he will be provided with will be regarded as Sadaqa (a charitable gift). And anybody who
believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet (i.e. abstain from all kinds
of dirty and evil talks).

Among the six canonical hadith collections of Sunni Islam, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, Sahih al-Bukhari is frequently accorded the highest rank. This esteemed status is a testament to the rigorous scholarly methods employed by its compiler, Muḥammad al-Bukhārī, who finished his work around 847. The collection is vast, containing an estimated 7,563 individual reports detailing the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. These are carefully categorized into 97 chapters, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding Islamic doctrine, law, and spiritual practice.
