حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ 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 رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الطَّعَامِ، فَأَتَى بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي إِنَّمَا تَرَكْتُهُ مِنْ أَجَلِ رِيحِهِ "، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ: وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ مَا تَكْرَهُ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever any food was presented as a gift to the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) would take some from it and send the rest to Abu Ayyub Ansari. Once, some food came to the Prophet (ﷺ) from somewhere which contained garlic. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent it to Abu Ayyub just as it was and did not take anything from it himself. When Abu Ayyub noticed that the Prophet (ﷺ) had not taken anything from it, he brought the food back to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked about it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that he had left it because of the smell of garlic. Upon hearing this, Abu Ayyub said, "Then whatever you do not like, I also do not like."
