One day, Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) delayed the Maghrib prayer. After finishing the prayer, Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) went to him and said, "O Uqbah! Did you see the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the Maghrib prayer like this? Did you not hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say that my Ummah will remain upon goodness as long as they do not delay the Maghrib prayer until the stars appear?"

The family members said, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent this."

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I saw onions in it." He asked, "Are onions not lawful for us?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why not, you may eat it, but I do not like its smell." He said, "Then whatever you do not like, I also do not like."
