And Hajjaj ibn al-Sha'ir and Ahmad ibn Sa'id ibn Sakhr narrated to me—and their wording is similar—they said: Abu al-Nu'man narrated to us, Thabit narrated to us—in the narration of Hajjaj ibn Yazid, Abu Zayd al-Ahwal—'Asim narrated to us, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Harith, from Aflah, the freed slave of Abu Ayyub, from Abu Ayyub, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, lodged with him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stayed in the lower floor, and Abu Ayyub in the upper floor. He said: Abu Ayyub woke up one night and said, "We are walking above the head of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him." So they moved aside and spent the night in a corner. Then he spoke to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "The lower floor is more convenient." He said, "I will not be above a ceiling beneath which you are." So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, moved to the upper floor, and Abu Ayyub to the lower floor. He would prepare food for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and when it was brought to him, he would ask about the place of his fingers, and he would trace the place of his fingers. He prepared food for him containing garlic, and when it was returned to him, he asked about the place of the Prophet's fingers, peace and blessings be upon him, and it was said to him, "He did not eat." He was alarmed and went up to him and said, "Is it forbidden?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "No, but I dislike it." He said, "Then I dislike what you dislike, or what you disliked." He said: And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to be brought [food].
