What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "A woman went to complain to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace, about her husband. Her husband used to invite people to their house and honor them, and the large number of guests caused her hardship and fatigue. So she left the Messenger of Allah without receiving an answer from him. After a while, the Messenger of Allah went to her husband and said to him: 'I am a guest in your house today...'", and the Hadith which includes: (If Allah wills good for a people, He bestows upon them a gift). They said: And what is that gift? He said: (The guest descends with his provision and departs with the sins of the household). Are this story and the virtues mentioned therein authentic?
The mentioned story has no basis, and the hadith with which it concluded: "If Allah desires good for a people, He sends them a gift. They said: O Messenger of Allah, what is that gift? He said: The guest; he descends with his provision and departs, and Allah has forgiven the people of the house," is very weak and is not authentically attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It has been narrated through several chains, none of which are sound; some of them are chains of unknown narrators, some are munkar (denounced), and some are mawdu' (fabricated) or talif (corrupt).
