عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللّه عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ النبيُّ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم: «مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلا يَقْربنَّا، وَلا يُصَلِّينَّ مَعنَا» متفقٌ عليه.
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever eats from this tree, let him not come near us, and let him not pray with us." Agreed upon (al-Bukhari and Muslim).

"This tree": that is, garlic.
الدروس · lessons
أنّ أكْل الثوم ليس بمحرم؛ لأن الحرام لا يقال فيه: مَن فعَله فلا يفعل كذا. من شأن المسلم أن يكون طيب الرائحة وخاصة عند حضور المجتمعات وأماكن العبادة كي لا يكره الناس مجالسته والدنو منه.
That eating garlic is not forbidden, because of a forbidden thing one does not say: "Whoever does it, let him not do such-and-such." It befits the Muslim to have a pleasant smell, especially when attending gatherings and places of worship, so that people do not dislike sitting with him or drawing near to him.
