Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ أَمُرُّ بِهِ فَلَا يُضَيِّفُنِي وَلَا يَقْرِينِي فَيَمُرُّ بِي فَأَجْزِيهِ قَالَ لَا بَلْ اقْرِهِ قَالَ فَرَآنِي رَثَّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مَالٍ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ أَعْطَانِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ كُلِّ الْمَالِ مِنْ الْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ قَالَ فَلْيُرَ أَثَرُ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ.
English Translation
Abu Ahmad narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Ahwas, from his father Malik, who said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a man whom I pass by does not offer me hospitality nor host me - then he passes by me, should I repay him in kind?' He said: 'No, rather host him.'" He said: "He saw me looking shabby, so he said: 'Do you have any wealth?' I said: 'Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has given me of all kinds of wealth, of camels and sheep.' He said: 'Then let the mark of Allah's favor upon you be seen.'"
