[Machine] It is reported that when the Prophet ﷺ was brought food, he would eat from it and then send the leftovers to Abu Ayyub. Abu Ayyub would trace the Prophet's fingers and place his own fingers where he saw the traces of the Prophet's fingers. One day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sent a plate that contained a strong smell of garlic. He did not eat from it, but instead sent it to Abu Ayyub. Abu Ayyub did not see any traces of the Prophet's fingers in it, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I do not see any traces of your fingers in it." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Indeed, I found traces of garlic in it." Abu Ayyub then said, "You have sent me something that you do not eat?" The Prophet ﷺ answered, "Indeed, it comes to me from the Angel."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ بَعَثَ بِفَضْلِهِ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ وَكَانَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ يَتَتَبَّعُ أَصَابِعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَضَعُ أَصَابِعَهُ حَيْثُ يَرَى أَصَابِعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِصَفْحَةٍ فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رِيحَ ثُومٍ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا وَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ فَلَمْ يَرَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فِيهَا أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَرَ فِيهَا أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ فِيهَا أَثَرَ ثُومٍ» فَقَالَ بَعَثْتَ إِلَيَّ بِمَا لَا تَأْكُلُهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ يَأْتِينِي الْمَلَكُ»
