Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ، وَكَانَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ لَحَّامٌ، فَقَالَ : اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامًا أَدْعُو رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ. قَالَ : فَدَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَل
َّمَ خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ، فَتَبِعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّكَدَعَوْتَنَا خَامِسَ خَمْسَةٍ، وَهَذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ تَبِعَنِي، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَذِنْتَ لَهُ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ تَرَكْتَهُ ". قَالَ : فَأَذِنَ لَهُ

It was narrated from Abu Masud (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man called Abu Shuayb who had a slave who was a butcher. He said: Prepare food for me so I can invite the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a fifth of five. He invited the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a fifth of five and an extra man followed them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You invited me as the fifth of five but this man has followed us. If you wish, grant permission to him; if you wish, turn him away.'
