وحَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ صَخْرٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ مِنْهُمَا قَرِيبٌ ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، فِي رِوَايَةِ حَجَّاجٍ: ابْنُ يَزِيدَ أَبُو زَيْدٍ الأَحْوَلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ أَفْلَحَ ، مَوْلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السُّفْلِ ، وَأَبُو أَيُّوبَ فِي الْعِلْوِ ، قَالَ : فَانْتَبَهَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ لَيْلَةً ، فَقَالَ: نَمْشِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَتَنَحَّوْا فَبَاتُوا فِي جَانِبٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : السُّفْلُ أَرْفَقُ ، فَقَالَ : لاَ أَعْلُو سَقِيفَةً أَنْتَ تَحْتَهَا ، فَتَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْعُلُوِّ ، وَأَبُو أَيُّوبَ فِي السُّفْلِ ، فَكَانَ يَصْنَعُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا فَإِذَا جِيءَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ سَأَلَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ أَصَابِعِهِ فَيَتَتَبَّعُ مَوْضِعَ أَصَابِعِهِ ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا فِيهِ ثُومٌ ، فَلَمَّا رُدَّ إِلَيْهِ سَأَلَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ أَصَابِعِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لَمْ يَأْكُلْ ، فَفَزِعَ وَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ: أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لاَ وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُهُ ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَا تَكْرَهُ ، أَوْ مَا كَرِهْتَ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُؤْتَى.

It was narrated from Abu Ayyub that the Prophet (s.a.w) came and stayed in his house. The Prophet (s.a.w) stayed on the lower floor and Abu Ayyub was on the top floor. Abu Ayyub got up one night and said: "We are walking above the head of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)." So they moved aside and spend the night in a corner. Then he spoke to the Prophet (s.a.w) (about that) and the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "The lower floor is more comfortable." He said: "I will not live on a roof beneath which you are." So the Prophet (s.a.w) moved to the upper floor and Abu Ayyub moved to the lower floor. He used to make food for the Prophet (s.a.w), and when it was brought back to him, he would ask where his fingers had touched it, and he would follow the place where his fingers had been. He made him some food that contained garlic, and when it was brought back to him he asked where his fingers had touched it, and it was said to him: "He did not eat any of it." He got worried and went up to him, and said: "Is it lfaram?" The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "No, but I do not like it." He said: "I dislike what you dislike." He said: "And the Revelation used to come to the Prophet (s.a.w)."
