أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ إِنَّکُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَأْکُلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرَتَيْنِ مَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا خَبِيثَتَيْنِ هَذَا الْبَصَلُ وَالثُّومُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا وَجَدَ رِيحَهُمَا مِنْ الرَّجُلِ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ إِلَی الْبَقِيعِ فَمَنْ أَکَلَهُمَا فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 712
It was narrated from Ma’dan bin Abi Talhah that ‘Umar bin Al !c! said: “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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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.” (Sahih)
