حديث أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، يُكْنَى أَبَا شُعَيْبٍ، فَقَالَ لِغُلَامٍ لَهُ قَصَّابٍ: اجْعَلْ لِي طَعَامًا يَكْفِي خَمْسَةً، فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ عَرَفْتُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْجُوعَ فَدَعَاهُمْ، فَجَاءَ مَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: إِنَّ هذَا قَدْ تَبِعَنَا، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ، فَأْذِنْ لَهُ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ: لَا، بَلْ قَدْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ.
Abu Mas'ud Narrated from:
An Ansâri man called Abû Shu'aib, came and told his butcher slave, "Prepare meals sufficient for five persons, for I want to invite the Prophet ﷺ along with four other persons as I saw signs of hunger on his face." Abû Shu'aib invited them and another person came along with them. The Prophet ﷺ said (to Abû Shu'aib), "This man followed us, so if you allow him, he will join us, and if you want him to return, he will go back." Abû Shu'aib said, "No, I have allowed him (i.e. he too, is welcome to the meal)." ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 295, Vol. 3)
