Sayyida Umm Ayyub Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed with us, we cooked vegetables for him as food. He did not like it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his companions: "You people eat it, for I am not like you. I do not like to cause discomfort to my companion (i.e., the angel)."

Imam Humaydi, may Allah have mercy on him, says: Sufyan narrated this: I saw the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion about the narration that is attributed to you, that the angels are also harmed by that which harms human beings? The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "This is absolutely correct."
