حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ
سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ
جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا أُهْدِيَ لَهُ طَعَامٌ أَصَابَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ بِفَضْلِهِ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، فَأُهْدِيَ لَهُ طَعَامٌ فِيهِ ثُومٌ ، فَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ وَلَمْ يَنَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ، فَلَمْ يَرَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ أَثَرَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الطَّعَامِ ، فَأَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ " إِنِّي إِنَّمَا
تَرَكْتُهُ مِنْ أَجَلِ رِيحِهِ " ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ : وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ مَا تَكْرَهُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever any food was presented as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would take some from it and send the rest to Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari. Once, some food came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere which contained garlic. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent it to Hazrat Abu Ayyub just as it was and did not take anything from it himself. When Hazrat Abu Ayyub noticed that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not taken anything from it, he brought the food back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that he had left it because of the smell of garlic. Upon hearing this, Hazrat Abu Ayyub said, "Then whatever you do not like, I also do not like."
