We have an incident like this. I was with Musa bin Muhammad Al-Qabab in the minaret in the Sanctuary of Mecca at Bab Al-Hazura, and he was giving the call to prayer, and he had food whose smell was offended by anyone who smelled it. I heard in the prophetic report that angels are harmed by what the sons of Adam are harmed by, and that it is forbidden to approach mosques with the smell of garlic, onions, and leeks. So I went to sleep determined to tell that man to remove that food from the mosque for the sake of the angels, and I saw the Almighty’s truth in sleep, and the Almighty said to me, “Do not tell him about the food, for its smell to us is not the same as it is to you.” When morning came, as was his custom, he came to us, and I informed him of what had happened, so he cried and prostrated to God. Thank you, then he said to me, Sir, despite this, good manners according to Sharia law are better, so he removed him from the mosque, may God have mercy on him .
