حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ کَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَکَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَرَأَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَرَفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْجُوعَ فَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ وَيْحَکَ اصْنَعْ لَنَا طَعَامًا لِخَمْسَةِ نَفَرٍ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ قَالَ فَصَنَعَ ثُمَّ أَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَعَاهُ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ وَاتَّبَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْبَابَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ هَذَا اتَّبَعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ رَجَعَ قَالَ لَا بَلْ آذَنُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 5309
Abu Mas'ud Ansari reported that a person from the Ansar who was called Abu Shu'aib had a slave who was a butcher (by profession). He (Abu Mas'ud) saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and found signs of hunger on his face. He said to the servant: 0 ye, prepare for us food sufficient for five persons, for I intend to invite Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) who would be the fifth amongst the five. He (the narrator) reported that he then prepared the food and came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and invited all the five (including him) who was the fifth amongst them to the feast. A man followed him and when Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) reached the door, he said: This man has followed us; if you like you may permit him (to join the meal) and if you like he can go back. Thereupon the person said: Allah's Messenger, I permit him.
