Abu Shuayb had a servant who was a butcher. When he saw the hunger showing on the Messenger of Allah, he ordered his servant to prepare food enough for five people. Then he sent word to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Come to us as one of five."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out, and a man followed him. When they reached the door, the Prophet said, "You sent for me to come as one of five, but this man has followed us. If you permit him, he may come in. Otherwise, he will go back."Abu Shuayb replied, "I permit him, Messenger of Allah."So the man entered.
