Primary text

There is a difference in emphasis regarding the obligation of hospitality. Ahmad stated that it is strongly emphasized, and it seems more crucial for the people of roads and villages where travelers pass through. For people in the current era, the situation is not like those earlier times.

A narration from Ahmad suggests that hospitality applies to the people of villages, not the people of cities.
