Sunan Abi Dawud 3826 (Book 28, Hadith 91) #24116
The Odour of Garlic in the Mosque

SUMMARY: Eating garlic and coming to the mosque is not allowed until its odour has gone away.

Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah: I ate garlic and came to the place where the Prophet was praying; one rak'ah of prayer had been performed when I joined. When I entered the mosque, the Prophet noticed the odour of garlic. When the Messenger of Allah 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 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.
حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ أَكَلْتُ ثُومًا فَأَتَيْتُ مُصَلَّى النَّبِيِّ وَقَدْ سُبِقْتُ بِرَكْعَةٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ رِيحَ الثُّومِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلاَ يَقْرَبْنَا حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ رِيحُهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ أَوْ ‏"‏ رِيحُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ الصَّلاَةَ جِئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَتُعْطِيَنِّي يَدَكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَدْخَلْتُ يَدَهُ فِي كُمِّ قَمِيصِي إِلَى صَدْرِي فَإِذَا أَنَا مَعْصُوبُ الصَّدْرِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ لَكَ عُذْرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that it is not permissible to enter a mosque while having the odour of garlic on oneself. It is important for Muslims to maintain cleanliness and hygiene when entering a place of worship, as this shows respect for Allah and His house. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ showed mercy towards Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah by allowing him an excuse due to his chest being fastened with a belt, which could have been why he was unable to smell the garlic on himself. This hadith teaches us that we should always be mindful of our hygiene before entering any place of worship, as well as showing mercy towards others even if they make mistakes.
