This study, aims at investigating the phenomenon of generosity and hospitality in the middle Maghreb and its different forms, taking Kutama as the field of study, due to the availability of the sources that reported the tales of Kutama's generosity which have reached its peak during the period proposed by the study.

Our approach to this subject has been based on two parts; the first of which was based on examining the social phenomena in terms of its spread, the rituals and customs that framed it, without ignoring its social symbolism and its value dimension.

A part of the study is specialized in a critical comparative analytical reading of the novel about the Kutamian sand their children made great efforts to satisfy their guests, swinging between credibility and rumor.

In the other part of this study, we dealt with the Kutamian hospitality of Abu Abdullah al-Shi'i, who was the subject of political doctrinal attraction between the proponents of the Ismaili project and their opponents, the impact of his doctrinal movement in the forms of scope of the phenomenon which is under study and its indicators.
