He who eats garlic or onion must keep away from us. Or he said: must keep away from our mosque or must sit in his house. A dish containing green vegetables was brought to him, and noticing that it had an odour he asked (about it). He was told that it contained some vegetables. He then said: Bring it near, to one of his companion who was with him. When he saw it, he abominated eating it, and said: eat for I hold intimate converse with one with whom you do not. Ahmad b. Salih said: Ibn Wahb explained the word badr as meaning dish.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever eats garlic or onion should keep away from our mosque or should remain in his house." (Jabir bin ʿAbdullah, in another narration said, "Once a big pot containing cooked vegetables was brought. On finding unpleasant smell coming from it, the Prophet ﷺ asked, 'What is in it?' He was told all the names of the vegetables that were in it. The Prophet ﷺ ordered that it should be brought near to some of his companions who were with him. When the Prophet ﷺ saw it he disliked to eat it and said, 'Eat. (I don't eat) for I converse with those whom you don't converse with (i.e. the angels).

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever has eaten garlic or onion, should keep away from us, or should keep away from our mosque and should stay at home." Ibn Wahb said, "Once a plate full of cooked vegetables was brought to the Prophet ﷺ at Badr. Detecting a bad smell from it, he asked about the dish and was informed of the kinds of vegetables in contained. He then said, "Bring it near," and so it was brought near to one of his companions who was with him. When the Prophet ﷺ saw it, he disliked eating it and said (to his companion), "Eat, for I talk in secret to ones whom you do not talk to."

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever eats garlic or onions, let them avoid us or let them avoid our mosques, or let them sit in their homes. Indeed, he was brought a plate containing greenery from the gardens, and he found it to have a strong smell. So he asked and was informed about what it contained of onions. He said, 'Bring it closer to some of his companions who were with him.' But when he saw it, he disliked eating it and said, 'All of you eat, for indeed, I converse with those whom you do not converse with.'"
