عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ اجْعَلْ لَنَا طَعَامًا لَعَلِّي أَدْعُو رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَادِسَ سِتَّةٍ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَاتَّبَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدِ اتَّبَعَنَا أَفَتَأْذَنُ لَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was an Ansari man named Abu Shu’aib, who had a slave that was a butcher. He said to him: Prepare food for us, perhaps I will invite the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and it should be food for six people. Then that man invited those people, and another man also started following you. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the host: This man has also come along with us, will you permit him? He said: Yes.
