حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، عَنْ أَبِي خَلْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، قَالَ الثُّومُ مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ الرِّزْقِ . وَأَبُو خَلْدَةَ اسْمُهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَسَمِعَ مِنْهُ وَأَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ اسْمُهُ رُفَيْعٌ هُوَ الرِّيَاحِيُّ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ كَانَ أَبُو خَلْدَةَ خِيَارًا مُسْلِمًا .
Abu Khaldah Narrated from:
Abu Al-'Aliyah Said: "Garlic Is Among The Good Provisions." Abu Khaldah'S Name Is Khalid Bin Dinar, And He Is Trustworthy According To The People Of Hadith. He Saw Anas Bin Malik And Heard Narrations From Him. Abu Al-'Aliyah'S Name Is Rufai' And He Is Ar-Riyahi. 'Abdur-Rahman Bin Mahdi Said: "Abu Khaldah Was Preferable, Reliable."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1811
This report about garlic as good provision gives a short statement from Abu Al-'Aliyah. Abu Khaldah narrated that Abu Al-'Aliyah said garlic is among the good provisions. The rest of the text gives information about Abu Khaldah and Abu Al-'Aliyah, including names and reliability notes. This report is useful because it keeps the topic balanced. Other nearby narrations speak about avoiding garlic before going to the masjid or the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم disliking it because of its odor. This report says garlic itself is from good provision. So the issue is not that garlic is always bad. The concern in other narrations is mainly connected to smell and public settings. The wording here is simple and should not be stretched beyond that.
What we learn from this hadith
- Garlic is described here as part of good provision.
- The report helps balance the discussion about garlic and odor.
- Food may be good in itself while still needing proper manners in use.
