حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ إِلَى غُلاَمٍ لَهُ لَحَّامٍ فَقَالَ اصْنَعْ لِي طَعَامًا يَكْفِي خَمْسَةً فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْجُوعَ . قَالَ فَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَدَعَاهُ وَجُلَسَاءَهُ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم اتَّبَعَهُمْ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ حِينَ دُعُوا فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ .

Hannad narrated to us: Abu Muawiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Shaqiq, from Abu Mas'ud, who said: A man called Abu Shu'ayb came to a young servant of his who was a butcher and said: Prepare enough food for five, for I have seen hunger on the face of the Messenger of Allah. The servant prepared food, then Abu Shu'ayb sent for the Prophet and invited him and the companions who were with him. When the Prophet got up, a man who had not been with them when they were invited followed them. When the Messenger of Allah reached the door, he said to the host: A man who was not with us when you invited us has followed us. If you permit him, he will come in. The host said: We have given him permission, so let him enter. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. It is also reported in this chapter from Ibn Umar.
