حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي رُهْمٍ السَّمَّاعِيِّ، أَنَّ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَهُ: أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ فِي بَيْتِنَا الْأَسْفَلِ، وَكُنْتُ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ، فَأُهْرِيقَ مَاءٌ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ، فَقُمْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ أَيُّوبَ بِقَطِيفَةٍ لَنَا نَتْبَعُ الْمَاءَ شَفَقَةَ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ الْمَاءُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَزَلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مُشْفِقٌ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ نَكُونَ فَوْقَكَ، انْتَقِلْ إِلَى الْغُرْفَةِ، فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَتَاعِهِ فَنُقِلَ، وَمَتَاعُهُ قَلِيلٌ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كُنْتَ تُرْسِلُ إِلَيَّ بِالطَّعَامِ، فَأَنْظُرُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِكَ وَضَعْتُ يَدِي فِيهِ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ هَذَا الطَّعَامُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ فَنَظَرْتُ فِيهِ فَلَمْ أَرَ فِيهِ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَجَلْ إِنَّ فِيهِ بَصَلًا، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ آكُلَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَلَكِ الَّذِي يَأْتِينِي، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَكُلُوهُ " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stayed on the lower floor of our house and I used to live on the upper floor. One day, water spilled in my room, so I and Umm Ayyub took a sheet and started drying the water so that it would not drip from the ceiling onto the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). Then, fearfully, I went to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! It is not appropriate that we stay above you; please move upstairs." So, on the order of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), his belongings—which were already very few—were moved upstairs. Then I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! The food you used to send me before, I would look at it and wherever I sensed the marks of your fingers, I would place my hand there. But today, in the food you sent me, even after looking, I did not see the marks of your fingers." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That is correct. Actually, there was onion in it, and I do not like to eat it because of the angel who comes to me. However, you may eat it."
