The reciter: Abdullah ibn Abi al-Aswad narrated to us, Abu Usamah narrated to us, al-A'mash narrated to us, Shaqiq narrated to us, Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari narrated to us, saying:
The Shaykh : This hadith has a point in its chain regarding continuity with what? The narrators agreed on a single form, yes, they all said "narrated to us." As for the subject of the hadith, it is apparent that if a person follows someone to the one who invited him, he should not enter with him until he first asks for permission. This is because the food may be prepared according to the capacity of the host and the guest. Second, the host may have a conversation that he does not wish anyone to overhear. Third, it is to teach people who follow others the Islamic etiquette that if they are given permission, they enter, and if not, they should return. Some people used to like to ask for permission, and they would be told to return because Allah said:[An-Nur 24:28] Rather, if he asks for permission and returns, and is told to return, he should not be upset about it. Instead, it should be said to him, "This is better and purer for you if you return." Yes, that is right.
There was a man from the Ansar who was known as Abu Shu'ayb, and he had a slave who was a butcher. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was with his companions, and he noticed hunger on the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So he went to his butcher slave and said, "Prepare food for me that is enough for five, so that I may invite the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as the fifth of five." The slave prepared a delicious meal for him. Then the man came to him and invited him. A man followed them, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Abu Shu'ayb, a man has followed us. If you wish, grant him permission to enter, and if you wish, leave him out." He said, "No, rather I grant him permission."
كان رجل من الأنصار يكنى أبا شعيب وكان له غلام لحام فأتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو في أصحابه فعرف الجوع في وجه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذهب إلى غلامه اللحام فقال اصنع لي طعاماً يكفي خمسةً لعلي أدعو النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خامس خمسة فصنع له طعيماً ثم أتاه فدعاه فتبعهم رجل فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : يا أبا شعيب إن رجلاً تبعنا فإن شئت أذنت له وإن شئت تركته قال لا بل أذنت لهThe Shaykh : This hadith has a point in its chain regarding continuity with what?
