1015. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever eats from this plant; garlic, let him not annoy us with it in this mosque of ours.'" (Sahih) Ibrahim said: My father used to add to it, on the authority of the Prophet ﷺ: Leek (Allium) and onion; i.e. he would add to the Hadith of Abu Hurairah concerning garlic.
1015 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ، الثُّومِ، فَلَا يُؤْذِينَا بِهَا فِي مَسْجِدِنَا هَذَا» قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: وَكَانَ أَبِي يَزِيدُ فِيهِ: الْكُرَّاثَ وَالْبَصَلَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ يَزِيدُ عَلَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِي الثُّومِ

Ibrâhim bin Sa'd ﷺ is the grandson of Ibrâhim bin 'Awf ﷺ. The narrator Sa'd has reported the same Hadith from Abu Hurairah ﷺ. The Hadith mentions not only garlic but onion and leek as well. The Hadith makes it clear that the reason why it is prohibited to enter the mosque after consuming these substances is their foul smell, which annoys the worshippers. That also explains why the Prophet ﷺ had ordered the people to wash themselves and put on clean clothes before coming to the mosque for Friday prayers.
