"We were in Medina with some of the Iraqi people, and we were struck with famine and Ibn Az- Zubair used to give us dates. Ibn ʿUmar used to pass by and say, "The Prophet ﷺ forbade us to eat two dates at a time, unless one takes the permission of one's companions."  

كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَأَصَابَنَا سَنَةٌ فَكَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَرْزُقُنَا التَّمْرَ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ يَمُرُّ بِنَا فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الإِقْرَانِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْتَأْذِنَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ أَخَاهُ  

There was an Ansari man called Abu Shu'aib who had a slave butcher. Abu Shu'aib said to him, "Prepare a meal sufficient for five persons so that I might invite the Prophet ﷺ besides other four persons." Abu Shu'aib had seen the signs of hunger on the face of the Prophet ﷺ and so he invited him. Another man who was not invited, followed the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ said to Abu Shu'aib, "This man has followed us. Do you allow him to share the meal?" Abu Shu'aib said, "Yes."  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ كَانَ لَهُ غُلاَمٌ لَحَّامٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامَ خَمْسَةٍ لَعَلِّي أَدْعُو النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ وَأَبْصَرَ فِي وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْجُوعَ فَدَعَاهُ فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُدْعَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدِ اتَّبَعَنَا أَتَأْذَنُ لَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ
