429 - I will inform you: Abu al-Fadl al-Zuhri narrated to us: Abdullah narrated to us: Abd al-Quddus ibn Shu'ayb ibn al-Habhab narrated to me: My uncle Salih ibn Abd al-Kabir ibn Shu'ayb narrated to me: Abdullah ibn Ziyad Abu al-Ula narrated to me from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib
from Anas who said: A roasted bird was presented to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) as a gift, and he said: O Allah, bring to me the one I love most among the people of the earth to eat with me. Anas said: Then Ali (a) came, and he was prevented. Then he came a second time and was prevented, and he came a third time and was prevented, hoping that the invocation would be for a man from my people. Then he came the fourth time, and I allowed him to enter. When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) saw him, he said: O Allah, and I love him too. So he ate with him from that bird.
