Sahih al-Bukhari 5248 (Book 70, Hadith 90)
the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was sitting with his companions and noticed the signs of hunger on the face of
the Prophet (ﷺ) . 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 (ﷺ) along with four other men.” 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. If you wish, you may invite him; and if you wish, you may refuse him.” Abu Shu’aib
said, “No, I will admit him.”
“ يَا أَبَا شُعَيْبٍ إِنَّ رَجُلاً تَبِعَنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَذِنْتَ لَهُ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ تَرَكْتَهُ ”. قَالَ لاَ بَلْ أَذِنْتُ لَهُ.
