Sahih Bukhari 5461

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَقِيقٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُكْنَى أَبَا شُعَيْبٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَعَرَفَ الْجُوعَ فِي وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَهَبَ إِلَى غُلَامِهِ اللَّحَّامِ ، فَقَالَ : اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامًا يَكْفِي خَمْسَةً لَعَلِّي أَدْعُو النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طُعَيِّمًا ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَدَعَاهُ ، فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا أَبَا شُعَيْبٍ ، إِنَّ رَجُلًا تَبِعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَذِنْتَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ تَرَكْتَهُ ، قَالَ : لَا ، بَلْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ .

Narrated Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari: There was an Ansari man nicknamed, Abu Shu'aib, who had a slave who was a butcher. He came to the Prophet while he was sitting with his companions and noticed the signs of hunger on the face of the Prophet . So he went to his butcher slave and said, Prepare for me a meal sufficient for five persons so that I may invite the Prophet along with four other men. He had the meal prepared for him and invited him. A (sixth) man followed them. The Prophet said, O Abu Shu'aib! Another man has followed us. If you wish, you may invite him; and if you wish, you may refuse him. Abu Shu'aib said, No, I will admit him.
