Hadith text
Narrated Abu Mas`ud: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)
Abu Mas'ud (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Ek Ansari shaks, jise Abu Shu'aib kaha jata, aaya aur apne kasaai gulaam se kaha: "Paanch logon ke liye khaana taiyaar karo, kyunke main Nabi ko chaar aur logon ke saath dawat dena chahta hoon kyunke maine unke chehre par bhookh ke asaraat dekhe hain." Abu Shu'aib ne unhe bulaya aur ek aur shaks unke saath aa gaya. Nabi ne (Abu Shu'aib se) kaha: "Yeh shaks humare saath aaya, isliye agar tum ijazat do, woh humare saath shaamil hoga, aur agar tum chaho woh wapas jaaye, woh wapas jaayega." Abu Shu'aib ne kaha: "Nahi, maine unhe ijazat de di hai (yaani woh bhi khaane mein shaamil ho sakte hain)."
