Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1098 — Sayyiduna Abu Shu'ayb had a slave who was
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ : نَا زُهَيْرٌ قَالَ : نَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ . عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كَانَ لِأَبِي شُعَيْبٍ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- وَأَصْحَابِهِ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ ، أَمَرَ غُلَامَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ بِلَحْمٍ يَكْفِي خَمْسَةً ، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : أَنِ ائْتِنَا خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ ، فَجَاءَ وَمَعَهُمْ سَادِسٌ ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَابِ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : إِنَّكَ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ وَإِلَى خَمْسَةٍ ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا تَبِعَنَا ، فَإِنْ أَذِنْتَ لَهُ دَخَلَ ، وَإِلَّا رَجَعَ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ أَذِنْتُ ، فَلْيَدْخُلْ ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ إِلَّا زُهَيْرٌ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Abu Shu'ayb (may Allah be pleased with him) had a slave who was a butcher. When he saw the effects of severe hunger and hardship upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), he ordered his slave to prepare for them enough meat to suffice five people, and he sent a message to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Come to us as the fifth of five." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and a sixth man had come along with them. When they reached the door of Sayyiduna Abu Shu'ayb (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You sent for me and five others, and this man has followed us. Now if you permit him, he will enter; otherwise he will go back." He said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I have permitted him, so let him enter."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him), from Abu Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him), except Zuhayr (may Allah have mercy on him)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him), from Abu Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him), except Zuhayr (may Allah have mercy on him)."
