[11] Surah Hud (PBUH) [Hud]
Ayat 78. And his people came rushing towards him, and since aforetime they used to commit crimes (sodomy, etc.), he said: "O my people! Here are my daughters (i.e. the daughters of my nation), they are purer for you (if you marry them lawfully). So fear Allah and degrade me not as regards my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?"
Ayat 79. They said: "Surely you know that we have neither any desire nor in need of your daughters, and indeed you know well what we want!"
Ayat 80. He said: "Would that I had strength (men) to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (to resist you)."
Tafseer of Surah Hud (PBUH) Ayat 78, 79 & 80. And his people came rushing towards him, and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: "O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear Allah, and cover me not with shame about my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?" The Biblical narrative suggests that the daughters were married and their husbands were close by (Gen. 19:14) and that these same daughters afterwards committed incest with their father and had children by him (Gen. 19:31). The Holy Qur'an nowhere suggests such abominations. Some Commentators suggest that "my daughters" in the mouth of a venerable man like Lut, the father of his people, may mean any young girls of those Towns. "My son" (waladi ) is still a common mode of address in Arabic-speaking countries when an elderly man addresses a young man. 79. They said: "Well dost thou know we have no need of thy daughters: indeed thou knowest quite well what we want!" 80. He said: "Would that I had power to suppress you or that I could betake myself to some powerful support." Lut seemed helpless in the situation in which he found himself-alone against a rabble of people inflamed with evil passions. He wished he had had the strength to suppress them himself or had had some powerful support to lean on! But the powerful support was there, though he had not realised it till then. It was the support of Allah. His guests were not ordinary men, but Angels who had come to test the people before they inflicted the punishment. They now declared themselves, and gave him directions to get away before the morning, when the punishment would descend on the doomed Cities of the Plain.
Hadith
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Shuraih Khuwailid bin Amr Al-Khuza'i (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) saying, "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day, should accommodate his guest according to his right.'' He was asked: "What is his right, O Messenger of Allah [SAWW]?'' He 
[SAWW](PBUH) replied: "It is (to accommodate him) for a day and a night, and hospitality extends for three days, and what is beyond that is charity.''
[Muslim Book 001, Chapter 20, Hadith # 078].
Further added in another Hadith in Sahih Muslim : Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "It is not permissible for a Muslim to stay so long with his brother till he makes him sinful.'' He was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, how can he make him sinful?'' He replied, "He prolongs his stay with him till nothing is left with the host to entertain him (guest).''
[Muslim Book 018, Chapter 13, Hadith # 4287].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Hud Ayat 78. "So fear Allah and degrade me not as regards my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?" This Hadith throws light on something more of the etiquette and scope of hospitality. A guest ought to be given the best entertainment on the first day and night. For the next two days, hospitality should be moderate. On the fourth day, the guest should leave for his destination. Yet if he chooses to stay, hospitality will be in the sense of charity.
