“O people, you eat two plants which I do not regard as anything but offensive: This garlic and these onions. At the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I would see a man, if the smell (of these vegetables) was found on him, being taken by the hand and led out to Baqi’ (graveyard). Whoever must eat them, let him cook them to death.”  

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ تَأْكُلُونَ شَجَرَتَيْنِ لاَ أُرَاهُمَا إِلاَّ خَبِيثَتَيْنِ هَذَا الثُّومُ وَهَذَا الْبَصَلُ وَلَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى الرَّجُلَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُوجَدُ رِيحُهُ مِنْهُ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى يُخْرَجَ بِهِ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَمَنْ كَانَ آكِلَهُمَا لاَ بُدَّ فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا  

“I made some food for the Prophet ﷺ in which there were some vegetables. He did not eat it, and he said: ‘I do not like to annoy my companion.’”  

صَنَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ طَعَامًا فِيهِ مِنْ بَعْضِ الْبُقُولِ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَقَالَ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُوذِيَ صَاحِبِي  

“Did I not forbid you to eat these vegetables? For the angels are offended by that which offends people.”  

أَنَّ نَفَرًا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَوَجَدَ مِنْهُمْ رِيحَ الْكُرَّاثِ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ أَكُنْ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَكْلِ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ إِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ تَتَأَذَّى مِمَّا يَتَأَذَّى مِنْهُ الإِنْسَانُ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his Companions: ‘Do not eat onions,’ then he said in a low voice: ‘Raw.’”  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لأَصْحَابِهِ لاَ تَأْكُلُوا الْبَصَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً النِّيءَ
