ahmad:27442Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > ʿUbaydullāh b. Abū Yazīd from his father

[Machine] I went to Um Ayoub's house, where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed. She told me about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that they were served food in which some of these words were mentioned. They brought it close to him, but he disliked it and said to his companions, "Eat, for I am not like any of you. I fear that my companion, meaning the angel, might be harmed."  

أحمد:٢٧٤٤٢حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَزِيدَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَبُوهُ قَالَ

نَزَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ أَيُّوبَ الَّذِي نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَزَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَحَدَّثَتْنِي بِهَذَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُمْ تَكَلَّفُوا طَعَامًا فِيهِ بَعْضُ هَذِهِ الْبُقُولِ فَقَرَّبُوهُ فَكَرِهَهُ وَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ كُلُوا إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أُوذِيَ صَاحِبِي يَعْنِي الْمَلَكَ

tirmidhi:1810al-Ḥasan b. al-Ṣabbāḥ al-Bazzār > Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > ʿUbaydullāh b. Abū Yazīd from his father > Um Ayyūb

From his father that Umm Ayyub informed him that the Prophet ﷺ had stayed with them, and they prepared some food for him containing some of these vegetables. But he disliked eating it, so he said to his Companions: "Eat it, for I am not like you are, I fear that I will offend my companion."  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih Gharib. Umm Ayyub is the wife of Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari.

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ وَأُمُّ أَيُّوبَ هِيَ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ
ahmad:27622Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > ʿUbaydullāh b. Abū Yazīd from his father

[Machine] I went to Umm Ayyub's house, who was visited by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She informed me about this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that they were served a meal containing portions of these crops, so they brought it closer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked it and said to his companions, "Eat, for I am not like any of you. I fear that my companion, meaning the angel, might be harmed.”

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with us and we provided him with food in which there was something from these dishes. When we brought it to him, he disliked it and said to his companions, "Eat, for I am not like any of you. I fear that my companion will be hurt." Abu Muhammad said, "If no one is hurt, then there is no harm in eating it."

ذِكْرُ مَا خَصَّ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أُمَّتِهِ فِي أَكْلِ مَا وَصَفْنَاهُ مَطْبُوخًا
