THE UNEXPECTED VISITOR AT MEALTIME

746

“A man prepared some food for the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and invited him together with four other people, however another person who had not been invited accompanied them. When they arrived at the door, the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said to the host: ‘This person has accompanied us will you permit him to join us, if not he will return.’ The host replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, indeed he is invited.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Mas'ud Badri who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
