He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I adjure you to put your hand (into my jubbah or shirt). He was wearing a jubbah or shirt (at that time). So he (peace and blessings be upon him) put in his hand, and there was a bandage on his chest. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have an excuse."

So when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, I stood up and began to pray the rak'ah I had missed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) detected the smell and said: "Whoever eats from this vegetable, let him never come near our mosque until its smell has gone." Sayyiduna al-Mughirah said: So when I had completed the prayer, I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have an excuse. Please give me your hand. Sayyiduna al-Mughirah said: By Allah, I found him (peace and blessings be upon him) very gentle. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me his hand, and I took his (peace and blessings be upon him) hand to my chest. He (peace and blessings be upon him) felt a bandage tied there, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, this is an excuse for you."
