Sunan Ibn Majah 3364 (Book 29, Hadith 114) #32718
Kindness and Consideration in Companionship

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ showed kindness and consideration for his companion by not eating the food that was made for him.

It was narrated that Umm Ayyub said: "I made some food for the Prophet in which there were some vegetables. He did not eat it, and he said: 'I do not like to annoy my companion.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَتْ صَنَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ ـ طَعَامًا فِيهِ مِنْ بَعْضِ الْبُقُولِ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُوذِيَ صَاحِبِي

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Umm Ayyub speaks of the importance of kindness and consideration in companionship. It is said that she had prepared some food with vegetables for the Prophet (ﷺ), but he did not eat it out of respect for her feelings. This shows us how important it is to be considerate towards our companions and to think about their feelings before our own desires. We should always strive to show kindness and respect towards those around us, even if we do not agree with them or have different opinions on certain matters. This hadith also teaches us that we should be mindful of how our actions may affect others, as even something as small as choosing not to eat a meal can make a difference in someone else's life.
