الكبرى للنسائي:٦٥٧٩أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ صَنَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ طَعَامًا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَعَالَ أَنْتَ وَخَمْسَةٌ فَقَالَ «أَتَأْذَنُ لِي فِي السَّادِسِ؟»
