Sahih Muslim 566 (Book 5, Hadith 95) #8410
Eating Onions with Etiquette

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad and his companions passed by a field of onions, some of them ate from it while others did not. The Prophet waited for the smell to go away before addressing those who had eaten.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah along with his Companions happened to pass by a field in which onions were sown. The people stopped there and ate out of that, but some of them did not eat. Then they (prophet's Companions) went to him. He (first) called those who had not eaten the onions and kept the others (who had taken onions) waiting till its odour vanished.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ خَبَّابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّ عَلَى زَرَّاعَةِ بَصَلٍ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَنَزَلَ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ آخَرُونَ فَرُحْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَدَعَا الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَأْكُلُوا الْبَصَلَ وَأَخَّرَ الآخَرِينَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ رِيحُهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about eating onions with etiquette. It was narrated by Abu Sa’id al-Khudri that the Prophet Muhammad and his companions passed by a field in which onions were sown. Some of them stopped to eat from it, while others did not. When they went to him, he first called those who had not eaten the onions and kept the others waiting until its odour vanished. This teaches us that we should be mindful of our manners when eating food, especially if it has a strong smell like onions or garlic that can linger on our breath afterwards. We should also be considerate towards those around us who may not want to smell what we are eating or may have allergies or sensitivities to certain foods. Additionally, this hadith shows us how patient and understanding the Prophet was towards his companions; he waited for everyone before addressing them so no one felt left out or embarrassed about their actions.
