Sahih Muslim 2053a (Book 36, Hadith 230) #12458
Abstaining from Garlic

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not eat garlic due to its odour, and Abu Ayyub Ansiri followed suit.

Abd Ayydb Ansari reported that when food was brought to Allah's Messenger he ate out of that, and sent the remaining part to me, and one day he sent to me the left-over; (I found that he) had not taken from it at all for it included garlic. I asked him whether that was forbidden, whereupon he said: No, but I do not like it because of its odour. He (Abu Ayyub Ansiri) said: Then I also do not like what you do not like.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ، بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ وَبَعَثَ بِفَضْلِهِ إِلَىَّ وَإِنَّهُ بَعَثَ إِلَىَّ يَوْمًا بِفَضْلَةٍ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا لأَنَّ فِيهَا ثُومًا فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ رِيحِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَا كَرِهْتَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's dislike of garlic due to its odour. He was offered food that contained garlic, but he chose not to eat it. When asked why, he said it was because of the smell. His companion Abu Ayyub Ansiri then decided that if the Prophet disliked something, then he would also avoid it. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions and words as they can have a great influence on those around us. We should strive to follow in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet and abstain from things which are disliked by him or Allah SWT. It also teaches us that we should be respectful towards others and their opinions even if they differ from ours.
