Sahih al-Bukhari 2360 (Book 46, Hadith 17)
“Prepare a meal sufficient for five persons so that I might invite the Prophet (ﷺ) besides other four
persons.” Abu Shu’aib 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. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abu Shu’aib, “This man
has followed us. Do you allow him to share the meal?” Abu Shu’aib said, “Yes.”
“ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدِ اتَّبَعَنَا أَتَأْذَنُ لَهُ ”. قَالَ نَعَمْ.
