Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We did not use to eat onions and leeks, but then we felt the need for them, so we ate them. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever eats from this odorous tree (its fruit), let him not come near our mosque, for the angels are harmed by what harms the children of Adam.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating chives and onions.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever eats from this tree (its fruit), he must not come to the mosque at all."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever eats this vegetable should not come to our mosques near us."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever eats from this odorous tree (its fruit), let him not come near our mosque, for the angels are harmed by that which harms human beings."

Ma’dan bin Abu Talhah al-‘Umari reports: Sayyiduna ‘Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said while delivering a sermon: I saw in a dream that a red rooster pecked me once, or perhaps twice. I think this means that the time of my death is near. If I pass away soon, the matter of consultation (shura) will be entrusted to those six individuals with whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased when he departed from this world. And I know that some people will try to create complications regarding this. I will fight against such people for Islam with this hand of mine. If they still do so, then they are enemies of Allah, disbelievers, and misguided people. And I bear witness regarding the governors of various regions: I sent them so that they may teach people the religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet, and distribute their wealth among them. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not emphasize anything as much (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words:) I did not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about any matter with as much insistence as I asked about the verse concerning kalalah, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hand on my chest and said: The verse revealed in the summer, which is at the end of Surah an-Nisa’, is sufficient for you:“They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: Allah gives you a verdict about kalalah.”(Sayyiduna ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) Soon I will give such a decision about this matter that everyone who can read and who cannot read will know it, and that decision will be for other than the father. This is what I think. Beware, O people! You eat the fruits of these two trees. I think both are impure: onions and garlic. If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sensed their smell from anyone, that person would be sent towards Baqi’. Whoever must eat them should cook them to remove their odor.

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sent back to him some food which contained some vegetables, including onions and garlic. Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) did not see any sign that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had eaten from it, so he himself refrained from eating it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Why do you not eat it? He replied: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I did not see any sign of your eating from it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I feel shy before Allah’s angels. However, it is not forbidden.

Sayyida Umm Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stayed with us as a guest. We prepared food for him in which there were also these vegetables. He said to his companions, "You people eat it, for I am not like you. I fear that (by eating it) I might cause discomfort to my companion (the angel)."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A bowl of tharid was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in which there was also garlic, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not eat it. He sent it to Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) would place his hand where he saw the mark of the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When he did not see the mark of the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he also did not eat it. Then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He submitted to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): I did not see the mark of your blessed hand in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There was the smell of garlic in it, and there is an angel with me.

Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I ate garlic and then came to the prayer place of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I found that you had already performed one rak’ah. When I stood up to perform the remaining rak’ah, you sensed the smell of garlic. You said: Whoever eats this vegetable should never come near our mosque until its smell is gone. Sayyiduna Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When I completed the prayer, I presented myself before you. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Please accept my excuse and extend your blessed hand towards me. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) extended his blessed hand towards me, and by Allah, I found it soft. I placed it inside my sleeve up to my chest, and you felt that there was a bandage on it, so you said: Your excuse (is accepted). (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) These are the things that we have mentioned, that they are excuses, as mentioned in the narration transmitted from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). These are the excuses that if a person is afflicted by any one of them, then if he does not participate in the performance of his obligatory prayer with the congregation, there will be no sin upon him, but he will be sinful for abandoning coming to the congregation. The reason is that these are two obligations: performing the prayer with the congregation and performing the obligatory (prayer) itself. So whoever performs the obligatory prayer, even though he hears the call to prayer, the obligation of performing the prayer is lifted from him. But the sin of not participating in the congregation will remain upon him. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Whoever hears the call to prayer and does not respond, his prayer is not valid, except in the case of an excuse.”So by this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) meant that the prayer of that person is not without sin, the sin which he committed by not joining the congregation, when what is meant is the commission of a prohibition. It does not mean that such a person’s prayer is not valid at all, even if he is not excused. At the time when he does not respond to the call of the one who calls towards Allah Almighty, his example will be like the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):“Whoever engages in idle acts, his Friday (prayer) is not valid.”So by this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) meant that his Friday prayer is not without the sin of the idle act which he committed.
