Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، - يَعْنِي الْعَطَّارَ - عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ هَاتَيْنِ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَكَلَهُمَا فَلاَ يَقْرَبَنَّ مَسْجِدَنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لاَ بُدَّ آكِلِيهِمَا فَأَمِيتُوهُمَا طَبْخًا ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْبَصَلَ وَالثُّومَ ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbbas ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzim narrated to us: Abu ʿAmir ʿAbd al-Malik ibn ʿAmr narrated to us: Khalid ibn Maysarah—that is, al-ʿAttar—narrated to us, from Muʿawiyah ibn Qurrah, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ forbade these two plants and said: “Whoever eats them must not approach our mosque.” He also said: “If you must eat them, then kill their odor through cooking.” He meant onions and garlic.
