The answer

The hadiths confirm that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not eat garlic, onions, or leeks, either out of disdain or because it was forbidden for him. The more preponderant opinion is that he abstained from them out of disdain, not prohibition, based on his saying: "For I converse with one whom you do not converse with." Similarly, he did not eat while reclining, not because it was forbidden, but because he disliked it, considering it an act of the arrogant and leading to overeating.
