حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا أَكَلَ طَعَامًا بَعَثَ بِفَضْلِهِ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، وَكَانَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ يَضَعُ أَصَابِعَهُ حَيْثُ، ، يَرَى أَصَابِعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِطَعَامٍ فَوَجَدَ فِيهِ رِيحَ ثُومٍ، فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ، وَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، فَلَمْ يَرَ فِيهِ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ فِيهِ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِكَ؟ قَالَ: " إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مِنْهُ رِيحَ ثُومٍ " قَالَ: أَتَبْعَثُ إِلَيَّ مَا لَسْتَ آكِلًا؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّهُ يَأْتِينِي الْمَلَكُ " (١)،
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 in such a way 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 why did you send to me something which you yourself did not eat?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Because an angel comes to me."
