1.   Whosoever (despite having means) is not hospitable, he has no goodness. (Musnad Ahmed, vol. 6, p. 142, Hadith 17424)

2.   It is from the foolishness of a person to make his guest work. (Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, p. 288, Hadith 4686)

3.   The Sunnah is for a person to accompany a guest to the door at the time of departing. (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 4, p. 52, Hadith 3358)

*   The guest should be mindful of the host’s responsibilities and engagements.

*   Sadr-ush-Shari’ah, Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: There are four matters that are important for the guest:

1.   One should remain where they are seated.

2.   One should be pleased with whatever is presented to them (it should not be the case that he says, ‘I eat better than this in my own home’, or other similar statements)

3.   One should not leave without receiving permission from the host first. 4. When leaving, he should make Du’a for the host. (Aalamgeer, vol. 5, p. 344)
