Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، أَنَّ بَكْرَ بْنَ سَوَادَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا النَّجِيبِ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الثُّومُ وَالْبَصَلُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَشَدُّ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ الثُّومُ أَفَتُحَرِّمُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ كُلُوهُ وَمَنْ أَكَلَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلاَ يَقْرَبْ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ رِيحُهُ مِنْهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Salih narrated to us: Ibn Wahb narrated to us: ʿAmr informed me that Bakr ibn Sawadah narrated to him, that Abu al-Najib, the freedman of ʿAbd Allah ibn Saʿd, narrated to him, that Abu Saʿid al-Khudri narrated to him: Garlic and onion were mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It was said: “Messenger of Allah, garlic is the strongest of them all. Will you make it forbidden?” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Eat it. Whoever among you eats it must not approach this mosque until its odor has gone.”
