"O people, you eat of two plants which I do not think are anything but bad, this onion and garlic. I have seen the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, if he noticed their smell coming from a man, ordering that he be taken out to Al-Baqi'. Whoever eats them, let him cook them to death."

“O people, you eat two plants that I find are nothing but obnoxious; this garlic and this onion. At the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, if a foul odour was detected from a man, I would see him seized by the arm and taken out to Al-Baqi’. Whoever must eat them, let him cook them to death.”

“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.”

[Machine] Umar ibn Khattab said, "Verily, you eat from two trees that I only see as impure, garlic and onions. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command the man who had their smell to go out to Al-Baqi' with it. So whoever among you eats them, he must cook them thoroughly." Husayn and Mansur disagreed with him.

[Machine] In it, indeed you people, eat from two trees, I do not see except that they are both offensive, this is onion and garlic. And indeed, I used to see the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he sensed their odor coming from a person, he would order him to be taken out to Al-Baqi'. So whoever among you eats them, then it is necessary for him to cook them.
