1810. 'Ubaidullāh bin Abī Buraidah narrated from his father that Umm Ayyūb 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."[1] (Saḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Saḥīḥ Gharīb. Umm Ayyūb is the wife of Abū Ayyūb Al-Anṣārī.

١٨١٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّارُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ أَنَّ ‌أُمَّ أَيُّوبَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَتَكَلَّفُوا لَهُ طَعَامًا فِيهِ مِنْ بَعْضِ هَذِهِ الْبُقُولِ فَكَرِهَ أَكْلَهُ، فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: كُلُوهُ، فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدِكُمْ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أُوذِيَ صَاحِبِي» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَأُمُّ أَيُّوبَ هِيَ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ.

Commentary

Some foul odor lingers in garlic, even when cooked, and the Angels abhor foul odor. As such, the Prophet ﷺ avoided eating even cooked garlic. He, however, allowed others to consume it because, cooking considerably decreases, even makes its bad odour almost imperceptible.
