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) .

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.

Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari bataate hain: Ek Ansaari shaks tha jinka laqab Abu Shu'aib tha, jinke paas ek ghulaam tha jo qassab (kasai) tha. Wo Nabi (SAW) ke paas aaye jab wo apne sahaaba ke saath baithe the, aur unhone Nabi (SAW) ke chehre par bhookh ke aasaar dekhe. To wo apne qassab ghulaam ke paas gaye aur kaha, 'Mere liye paanch logon ke liye kaafi khaana taiyaar karo, taake main Nabi (SAW) ko chaar aur logon ke saath bula sakoon.' Unhone khaana taiyaar karwaaya aur unhein dawat di. Ek (chhata) aadmi unke peechhe chal pada. Nabi (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Aye Abu Shu'aib! Ek aur shaks humaare peechhe aa gaya hai. Agar chaaho, to unhein bhi bula sakte ho; aur agar chaaho, to unhein mana kar sakte ho.' Abu Shu'aib ne kaha, 'Nahi, main unhein bhi andar aane doonga.'
