Hadith on Guests: The Prophet is a well-mannered guest

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, visited a house among the Ansar and he ate a meal with them. When the Prophet intended to leave, he asked for a place in the house to pray. A mat was placed, water was sprinkled over it, and he prayed on it. Then, the Prophet would supplicate to Allah on behalf of them.

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَارَ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَطَعِمَ عِنْدَهُمْ طَعَامًا فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَمَرَ بِمَكَانٍ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ فَنُضِحَ لَهُ عَلَى بِسَاطٍ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ
