حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ يَعْنِي أَبَا زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَفْلَحَ مَوْلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ، فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْفَلَ وَأَبُو أَيُّوبَ فِي الْعُلُوِّ، فَانْتَبَهَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ: نَمْشِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَحَوَّلَ فَبَاتُوا فِي جَانِبٍ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " السُّفْلُ أَرْفَقُ بِي "، فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ: لَا أَعْلُو سَقِيفَةً أَنْتَ تَحْتَهَا، فَتَحَوَّلَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فِي السُّفْلِ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْعُلُوِّ، فَكَانَ يَصْنَعُ طَعَامَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا رُدَّ إِلَيْهِ سَأَلَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَيَتَّبِعُ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَثَرِ أَصَابِعِهِ، فَصَنَعَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ طَعَامًا فِيهِ ثُومٌ، فَأَرْسَلَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ أَثَرِ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقِيلَ: لَمْ يَأْكُلْ، فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَكْرَهُهُ "، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَا تَكْرَهُ أَوْ مَا كَرِهْتَهُ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُؤْتَى (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stayed at his place. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) resided on the lower floor, and Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed on the upper floor. One night, he thought that we are walking above the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so he spent the whole night in a corner. In the morning, he mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The lower floor is more suitable for me." He said, "I will not climb on the roof under which you are." Thus, Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) went downstairs and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) went upstairs. It was the practice of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) that when something was sent as a gift, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would also send some of it to Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). So 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 said, "The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) has sent this." He went to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You did not even touch this bowl?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I saw onions in it." He asked, "Are onions not lawful for us?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why not, you may eat it. However, those come to me who do not come to you (Jibreel Amin and other angels (peace be upon them))."
