It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the conquest of Khaybar, we rushed towards this vegetable (garlic) and ate it abundantly, some people were on an empty stomach. When we reached the mosque, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sensed its smell. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever eats from this foul tree should not come near us in our mosques. Upon hearing this, people began to say that garlic has become forbidden, it has become forbidden. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he said: O people! I do not have the authority to declare forbidden what Allah has declared lawful. However, I do not like the smell of this tree.
