[Machine] Abu Shuayb had a skilled boy. When he saw the Prophet ﷺ and his companions' exhaustion, he commanded his boy to bring meat for them. Then, he sent a message to the Prophet ﷺ asking him to bring a fifth – five people plus a sixth. So the Prophet ﷺ came with five people and an additional sixth. When they reached Abu Shuayb, the Prophet ﷺ said, "You sent for five of us, and this one is our follower. If you permit him, he can enter; otherwise, he will return." Abu Shuayb said, "I give permission, O Messenger of Allah. Please let him enter." The phrase of the Hadith of Nufail 14545 was mentioned to us by Abu Ali al-Roudabari, who reported it from Ismail, who reported it from Ja'far, who reported it from Ahmad bin Abdul Malik, who reported it from Zuhair, who reported it from Al-A'mash, who reported it from Abu Wael, who reported it from Abu Mas'ood, from the Prophet ﷺ in a similar manner.
