Bayhaqi 5058 — Evidence that eating them is not unlawful

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَكَلَ مِنْ طَعَامٍ بَعَثَ بِفَضْلِهِ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ: فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ بِقَصْعَةٍ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا فِيهَا ثُومٌ، فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ؟ قَالَ: " لَا، وَلَكِنِّي كَرِهْتُهُ لِرِيحِهِ ". قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَا كَرِهْتَ ".
Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would eat food and send the leftover food to Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a bowl of food from which he (peace and blessings be upon him) had eaten nothing at all, because it contained garlic. Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: O Messenger of Allah, is it unlawful? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not unlawful, but I dislike it because of its smell." Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I too dislike what you (peace and blessings be upon him) dislike.
