Ibrahim bin Sa’d rahimahullah’s father is Sa’d bin Ibrahim bin Abdur Rahman bin ‘Awf radi Allahu anhu. That is, Sa’d bin Ibrahim rahimahullah narrated this same hadith from Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu with his chain of transmission. However, in it, not only garlic but also garlic, onion, and leek are all mentioned.
(2)
In this hadith, it is explicitly stated that the reason for prohibiting the consumption of these things before coming to the mosque is that their odor causes discomfort to the worshippers. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, out of wisdom, commanded those coming for the Friday prayer to take a ritual bath (ghusl) and wear clean clothes.
