739. Abu Mas'ud Al-Badri (r.a.) reported: A man prepared some food
especially for the Prophet (salal'aahu alayhi wasalam) and invited him along
with four others. But a man accompanied him. Having arrived at the door,
Messenger of Allah (salal'aahu alayhi wasalam) 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 & Muslim]
Commentary: It will be considered an expression of bad manners if somebody participates in a feast as an uninvited guest. Yet, he stands a chance in case he is allowed by the host. In this hadith, there is a case when Messenger of Allah (salal'aahu alayhi wasalam) said to the host that it was up to him to let the uninvited person to stay for food or go. However, the invitees may take along with them two or three uninvited guests if they believe that the host will not take it ill.
