Abū Dāwūd also recorded it. Its chain is sound when viewed alongside corroborating reports: all of its transmitters are trustworthy—men whose narrations appear in the Ṣaḥīḥ—apart from Abū al-Najīb.

Allah granted His Messenger the conquest of Fadak and Khaybar, and the people threw themselves upon one of their vegetables—this garlic and onion. Later they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he detected its odor and was distressed by it. When they returned again he declared: “Take heed! Do not eat it. Whoever has eaten any of it must not come near our gathering.”’”
Aḥmad recorded this ḥadīth. Its chain is hasan, God willing. All of its transmitters are trustworthy and appear in the two Ṣaḥīḥs, except for Bishr; he is truthful but somewhat weak, as al-Taqrīb notes.

Ibn Shihāb transmitted it from Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib, from him, in the wording:
