2456. Narrated Abū Mas'ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ:There was an Anṣārī man called Abū Shu'āibwho had a slave butcher. Abū Shu'āib said tohim, "Prepare a meal sufficient for fivepersons so that I might invite the Prophet besides other four persons.” Abū Shuʿaib had seen the signs of hunger on the face of the Prophet ﷺ and so he invited him. Another man who was not invited followed the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to Abū Shuʿaib, “This man has followed us. Do you want him to share the meal?” Abū Shuʿaib said, “Yes.”
