bit, and then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه asked to check the fridge to distribute if there is something in it. (Sayyidi Ziyauddin Ahmad Al-Qaadiri, vol. 1, pp. 422)
He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was so unconcerned with the world that he would order to distribute even the necessary things from the fridge that belonged to his family members. (Sayyidi Ziyauddin Ahmad Al-Qaadiri, vol. 1, pp. 422)
Whoever came to him, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would receive that person as per his rank and status. His door was open to everyone and Dastar-Khuwan used to be spread for everyone. Whatever money he got, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would spend all of it; he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not save anything and would frequently spend on guests.

Hospitality is Sunnah of Prophets!
Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed! Sayyidi Qutb-e-Madinah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was very hospitable. It seems as if hospitality had become the part of his nature. He would extend hospitality to the person, who would come to his home, according to his status and rank. Hospitality is one of the acts leading to Jannah and it is the Sunnah of many Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام.
It is stated about Sayyiduna Ibraheem عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَـيْهِ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّلَام that he would not eat meal until guests joined him at his Dastar-Khuwan. (‘Ajaaib al-Quran, pp. 376)
From this narration it can be judged that the pious people of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ like hospitality very much. Hospitality is a virtuous deed that not only brings abundant reward, but it also promotes love and strengthens relationship. Therefore, whenever a guest comes, extend hospitality to him according to your financial ability, because it is a deed that makes our Hereafter better along with the world.
Standard of hospitality!
