"Prepare a meal to which I may invite Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with four other men." So he invited
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and four other men, but another man followed them whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"You have invited me as one of five guests, but now another man has followed us. If you wish you
