And keep carrying me along, and as far as possible, keep taking me forward into the land of Rome."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that it was the practice of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when something was given as a gift, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would also send some of it to Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). So one day Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) came home and saw a bowl in which there were onions. He asked, "What is this?" The family members said, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent this." He went to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You did not even touch this bowl?" 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."
