Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah: I ate garlic and came to the place where the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was praying; one rak'ah of prayer had been performed when I joined. When I entered the mosque, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم noticed the odour of garlic. When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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.
