حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا أبُو هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ أَکَلْتُ ثُومًا فَأَتَيْتُ مُصَلَّی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ سُبِقْتُ بِرَکْعَةٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رِيحَ الثُّومِ فَلَمَّا قَضَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَکَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلَا يَقْرَبَنَّا حَتَّی يَذْهَبَ رِيحُهَا أَوْ رِيحُهُ فَلَمَّا قُضِيَتْ الصَّلَاةُ جِئْتُ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَتُعْطِيَنِّي يَدَکَ قَالَ فَأَدْخَلْتُ يَدَهُ فِي کُمِّ قَمِيصِي إِلَی صَدْرِي فَإِذَا أَنَا مَعْصُوبُ الصَّدْرِ قَالَ إِنَّ لَکَ عُذْرًا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3826
Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah: I ate garlic and came to the place where the Prophet ﷺ was praying; one rak'ah of prayer had been performed when I joined. When I entered the mosque, the Prophet ﷺ noticed the odour of garlic. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he said: He who eats from this plant should not come near us until its odour has gone away. When I finished the prayer, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, do give me your hand. Then I put his hand in the sleeve of my shirt, carrying it to my chest to show that my chest was fastened with a belt. He said: You have a (valid) excuse.
