Have any authentic and strong hadiths been reported that mention angels being bothered by the smell of garlic, and what are these hadiths and their narrators, if they exist?

It has been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: "Whoever eats from this plant – meaning garlic –" and another time he said: "Whoever eats onions, garlic, and leeks, should not approach our mosque, for the angels are bothered by what bothers the children of Adam." (Agreed upon from the of Jabir). In another narration from him: "...So whoever eats them, let him cook them until their smell is dead."
