Abu Mas‘ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man from the Ansar, nicknamed Abu Shu‘ayb, had a butcher slave. He came to the Prophet (ﷺ) among his companions and recognized hunger on the Prophet’s face. He went to his butcher slave and said, “Prepare food for five, so I may invite the Prophet as the fifth of five.” He prepared a small meal, then invited him. A man followed them, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Abu Shu‘ayb, a man has followed us. If you wish, permit him; if you wish, leave him.” He said, “No, I permit him.” Agreed upon.
