Musnad Ahmad Hadith 23507

It is narrated from Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, the Ansar drew lots to decide at whose house the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) would stay. The lot came out in favor of Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), and he took the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) to his house. It was the practice of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) that whenever something was sent as a gift, he would send a portion of it to Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. One day, Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) came home and saw a bowl in which there were onions. He asked, "What is this?" The family members replied, "The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) has sent this." He went to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You did not even touch this bowl?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "I saw onions in it." He asked, "Are onions not lawful for us?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why not, you may eat them. However, those come to me who do not come to you (Jibreel Amin and other angels, peace be upon them)."
