Riyad as-Salihin 738 (Book 2, Hadith 12) #37227
Inviting Extra Guests

SUMMARY: A man invited the Prophet (ﷺ) and four others to a meal, but an extra person followed them. The host allowed the extra person to join them.

Abu Mas'ud Al-Badri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man prepared some food especially for the Prophet and invited him along with four others. But a man accompanied him. Having arrived at the door, Messenger of Allah said to the host, "This person has followed us. You may allow him, if you like, and if you like he will return". He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I allow him, too". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
عن أبى مسعود البدرى رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ دعا رجل النبي لطعام صنعه له خامس خمسة، فتبعهم رجل، فلما بلغ الباب، قال النبي ‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن هذا تبعنا؛ فإن شئت أن تأذن له، وإن شئت رجع‏"‏ قال‏:‏ بل آذن له يا رسول الله ‏.‏((متفق عليه))

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about hospitality and inviting guests for a meal. It tells us that when we invite people for a meal, we should be generous and allow any extra people who come along with them to join us as well. The Prophet (ﷺ) was invited by someone for a meal along with four other people but an additional person came along too. The host was asked if he wanted the extra person to stay or leave and he said that he would allow him too. This shows us how generous we should be when it comes to inviting guests over for meals or any other occasion. We should always make sure that everyone feels welcome in our homes and no one is left out of our invitations or hospitality.
