It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed at his place. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) resided on the lower floor, and Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed on the upper floor. One night, he thought that we are walking above the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he spent the whole night in a corner. In the morning, he mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The lower floor is more suitable for me." He said, "I will not climb on the roof under which you are." Thus, Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) went downstairs and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went upstairs. It was the practice of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when something was sent 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 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. However, those come to me who do not come to you (Jibreel Amin and other angels (peace be upon them))."
