An Ansari man, called Abu 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." Abu Shu'aib invited them and another person came along with them. The Prophet ﷺ said (to Abu 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." Abu Shu'aib said, "No, I have allowed him (i.e. he, too, is welcomed to the meal).  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُكْنَى أَبَا شُعَيْبٍ فَقَالَ لِغُلاَمٍ 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 هَذَا قَدْ تَبِعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَأْذَنْ لَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ لاَ بَلْ قَدْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ  

There was an Ansari man nicknamed, Abu Shu'aib, who had a slave who was a butcher. He came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was sitting with his companions and noticed the signs of hunger on the face of the Prophet ﷺ . So he went to his butcher slave and said, "Prepare for me a meal sufficient for five persons so that I may invite the Prophet ﷺ along with four other men." He had the meal prepared for him and invited him. A (sixth) man followed them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Shu'aib! Another man has followed us. If you wish, you may invite him; and if you wish, you may refuse him." Abu Shu'aib said, "No, I will admit him."  

كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُكْنَى أَبَا شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلاَمٌ لَحَّامٌ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهْوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَعَرَفَ الْجُوعَ فِي وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى غُلاَمِهِ اللَّحَّامِ فَقَالَ اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامًا يَكْفِي خَمْسَةً لَعَلِّي أَدْعُو النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طُعَيِّمًا ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَدَعَاهُ فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أَبَا شُعَيْبٍ إِنَّ رَجُلاً تَبِعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَذِنْتَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ تَرَكْتَهُ قَالَ لاَ بَلْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ

يُقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ اجْعَلْ لَنَا طَعَامًا لَعَلِّي أَدْعُو رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَادِسَ سِتَّةٍ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَاتَّبَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدِ اتَّبَعَنَا أَفَتَأْذَنُ لَهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ

If you want, you can allow him, and if you want, you can leave him." He said, "So he allowed him."  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَقَالَ اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامًا أَدْعُو رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ قَالَ فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنَا خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ وَهَذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَذِنْتَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ تَرَكْتَهُ» قَالَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ

Otherwise, he should go back." The man replied, "No, we allow him."  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ اجْعَلْ لِي طَعَامًا لَعَلِّي أَدْعُو النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَعَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ فَتَبِعَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلرَّجُلِ «إِنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنِي خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ وَإِنَّ هَذَا تَبِعَنَا فَإِنْ أَذِنْتَ وَإِلَّا رَجَعَ» فَقَالَ بَلْ نَأْذَنُ لَهُ  

[Machine] A man from the Ansar, who was known as Abu Shuayb, said to his servant, "Woe to you! I have seen hunger in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So prepare enough food for five people." The servant prepared the food and sent it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He called the man and a man who was not called also followed them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, this man is our follower, so give him permission." He said, "Yes."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُكْنَى أَبَا شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ وَيْحَكَ إنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْجُوعَ فَاعْمَلْ طَعَامًا يَكْفِي خَمْسَةً فَعَمِلَهُ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَاهُ فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُدْعَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا تَبِعَنَا فَتَأْذَنُ لَهُ» فَقَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] It is said that he is called Abu Shuayb and he had a young apprentice. He said to his apprentice, "I have seen hunger in the face of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , so perhaps I will invite him to a meal on the fifth day." He prepared a meal for the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and invited him on the fifth day. A man followed them, so the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "A man has followed us, so if you wish, give him permission."  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْجُوعَ لَعَلِّي أَدْعُوهُ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ فَصَنَعَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ طَعَامًا فَدَعَاهُ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قَدْ تَبِعَنَا رَجُلٌ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَائْذَنْ لَهُ»  

0 ye, prepare for us food sufficient for five persons, for I intend to invite Allah's Apostle ﷺ who would be the fifth amongst the five. He (the narrator) reported that he then prepared the food and came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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: Messenger of Allah, I permit him. (Using translation from Muslim 2036a)  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَرَفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْجُوعَ فَقَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ وَيْحَكَ اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامًا فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ فَصَنَعَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَدَعَاهُ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْبَابَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا تَبِعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَائْذَنْ لَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ رَجَعَ» قَالَ لَا بَلْ آذَنُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ

He had a generous servant, so he said to him "Prepare a meal for me, so that I could invite the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and four others." He invited them and a man followed them who had not been invited. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Has he followed us? Should I allow him?" He replied, "Yes."  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ أَبْصَرَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْجُوعَ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَقَالَ اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامًا لَعَلِّي أَدْعُو رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُدْعَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ تَبِعَنَا فَتَأْذَنُ لَهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
