Chapter Introduction
١٠٠ ـ باب فيما يقوله من دعى إلى طعام فتبعه غيره
Translation: 356. Narrated Abu-Mas'oud: ' A man named Abu-Sho'ayb came to a young butcher and said to him: " Prepare a dish sufficient for five people, for I have seen the signs of hunger on the face of the Messenger of Allah. " The narrator said: ' He prepared the food and the man invited the Messenger of Allah and those who were with him. When the Prophet left, a man who was not present when the invitation was made followed them. When the Messenger of Allah reached the door, he said to the householder: " A man who was not present when you had invited us has followed us, will you permit him [ to join us]? " He said: " I have permitted him. " (At-Termizi)
