Tirmidhi Book 11, Hadith 1099

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَى غُلَامٍ لَهُ لَحَّامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامًا يَكْفِي خَمْسَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُوعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَاهُ وَجُلَسَاءَهُ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اتَّبَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ حِينَ دُعُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْبَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لِصَاحِبِ الْمَنْزِلِ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ اتَّبَعَنَا رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَنَا حِينَ دَعَوْتَنَا فَإِنْ أَذِنْتَ لَهُ دَخَلَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَدْ أَذِنَّا لَهُ فَلْيَدْخُلْ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَفِي الْبَاب، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ.

Abu Mas'ud narrated: A man named Abu Shu'aib came to a slave of his, who was a butcher, and said: 'Prepare some food for me that will be sufficient for five, for I have seen hunger in the face of the Messenger of Allah.' So he prepared some food. Then he sent a message to the Prophet inviting him and those who were sitting with him. When the Prophet stood, he was followed by a man who was not with them when they were invited. When the Messenger of Allah arrive at the door he said to the owner of the house: 'A man who was not with us when you invited us followed us, if you permit him, he will enter.' He said: We have permitted him, let him enter.
