Syedna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a bowl was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it contained onions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the people: You eat. He (peace and blessings be upon him) himself refused to eat and said: I am not like you in this matter, (because an angel comes to me with revelation).
