"I was then sent to 'Umar. When I arrived, I knocked on his door, and he came out, asking, "Who are you? I said, "I am Dabbah. He replied, "No welcome and no hospitality for you. I responded, "Welcome and hospitality are from Allah. I have no family or wealth. Why did you, O 'Umar, summon me from my land without any sin or crime I committed?"

"with the Meem with a Fatha, the Nun with Sukun, the Sheen with a Fatha, the Meem with a Hamza, the Jeem with a Duma, and the Wa, invited those who came with the caravan to his hospitality. I refused to attend, but my companions insisted strongly, so I went along with those who did. The hospitality offered was a mixture of bulgur mixed with a little honey and milk, served in half a gourd fashioned into a bowl. The attendees drank and left. I said to them, Is it for this the black man invited us? They replied, Yes, this is a great hospitality here. It was then that I realized there was nothing good to expect from them, and I wished"

"in a tent with a radiant maiden and some spoils. Abu Thar demanded, Capture me, may your mother mourn you. The elder offered hospitality instead, saying, If you seek hospitality, then dismount, and if you seek assistance, we will help you. Abu Thar insisted on being captured, to which the elder replied with a verse, We offered you hospitality out of generosity, but you did not heed, ignorant like the foolish. You came with slander and falsehood, and below what you wished for, the white blades cut. The elder then leapt towards Abu Thar, saying, In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful. Abu Thar felt as if he was"

"It is advisable first to set aside a portion for the household so that their eyes are not yearning for what returns, as it might not return, causing their hearts to be restricted, and instigating the tongues of the guests. Feeding guests what causes a household's displeasure is deceit towards their rights. What remains of the food is not for the guests to take, referred to by Sufis as 'a lapse,' unless the host explicitly allows it from a content heart or it is known through the host's situation that he is pleased with it."

"O You who increase in generosity and munificence with the abundance of requests and in benevolence and grace with the multitude of needs. O Allah, You have appointed hospitality for every guest, and we are Your guests, so let our hospitality from You be Paradise. O Allah, for every delegation there is a reward, for every visitor there is honor, for every seeker there is a gift, for every hopeful a reward, for every petitioner seeking from You, there is recompense, and for every seeker of mercy, there is mercy with You."

"He was pleased with this response and thanked me for it. Then he served food, and we ate. He said, You shall be my guests. But then the young man Akhjelabi said, They did not stay at my zawiyah, so let them be with me, and your hospitality will reach them. The prince agreed, so we moved to his zawiyah and stayed for six days under his hospitality and that of the prince."

"and Judge Hamza spoke well of me and recommended to the Sultan to honor me. These Turks do not understand provisioning guests with allowances. Instead, they send sheep and horses for slaughter and containers of fermented mare's milk as their form of hospitality. Days later, I performed the asr sala with the Sultan. When I intended to leave, he ordered me to stay. They brought food and beverages as is done by custom, followed by boiled meats of mutton and horse. That night, I brought the Sultan a plate of sweets and he merely placed his finger on it and put it to his mouth without doing more than that. News of the Khatuns and their Arrangement"

"away, towering rugged mountains to which I did not travel. We settled at the Zawiyya of Aqeemajd al-Din there, and stayed for three days in his hospitality, emulating the hospitality of those before him. The deputy of Prince Artna came with gifts and provisions, and we departed those lands, reaching Erzincan, whose name is opened with a Hamza silent Ra, silent Nun, and ending in Jim alif Nun. It is among the lands of the Lord of Iraq, a large, bustling city mostly inhabited by Armenians. The Muslims there speak Turkish. It has well-organized markets, famous for producing beautiful garments named after it, and copper mines used to make"

"ibn al-Muttalib, Indeed, the yellow has been endowed with glory and leadership, and a profound patience, abundant wisdom and intellect. Weep for Ubaidah, for the guests of estrangement and for the widow who longs for a disheveled one like a twisted branch. Weep for him for the people in every storm, when the horizons of the sky turn red from drought. Weep for him for the orphans while the wind howls, and for the boiling pot that has long been bubbling. For if the fires have lost their light, he was the one who kept them alive with abundant firewood, for a traveler at night or one seeking hospitality, and a seeker who has now become at ease before him."

"set out on a journey until they dismounted by a tribe among the Arab tribes. They requested hospitality from them, but they refused to host them. The chief of the tribe was bitten and they tried everything to cure him, but nothing benefited him. One of them said, if you would approach those who have come down, perhaps some of them might have something. So they went to them and said, oh you people, our chief has been bitten and we have tried everything for him, but nothing benefits him. Do any of you have anything? One of them said, yes, by Allah, I can perform a ruqya, but by Allah, we asked you for hospitality and you did not host us,"
