Abu al-Rijal, from Amrah, with it. At its beginning he added: “Surplus water must not be withheld, and …” Harithah is weak. However, this addition is authentically established in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah in the two Sahihs and elsewhere; it has been cited with numerous wordings in Ahadith al-Buyu‘ (Hadiths on Transactions).

2389 — “He forbade garlic, onions, and leeks.”

Al-Tayalisi narrated it (2171): Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us; he said: Bishr ibn Harb al-Nadi narrated to us from Abu Sa‘id, attributing it to the Prophet. We said: “O Abu Sa‘id, is it prohibited?” He replied: “No.”

I say: Its chain of transmission is good. Bishr ibn Harb is truthful, though he has some weakness, as stated in al-Taqrib. It is supported by the hadith of Jabir, who said: “The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade eating onions and leeks.” Muslim narrated it (2/80). In another wording recorded by him: “Whoever eats onions, garlic, or leeks, let him not come near our mosque …” the hadith.

Ibn Majah (3367) narrated, through ‘Uthman ibn Nu‘aym, from al-Mughirah ibn Nuhayk, from Dukhayn al-Hujari, that he heard ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir al-Juhani attribute to the Prophet the wording: “Do not eat onions.” He then said a word quietly: “raw.”

I say: ‘Uthman and al-Mughirah are unknown.
