abudawud:4048Makhlad b. Khālid > Rawḥ > Saʿīd b. Abū ʿArūbah > Qatādah > al-Ḥasan > ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn > Nabī Allāh ﷺ

The Prophet ﷺ said: I do not ride on purple, or wear a garment dyed with saffron, or wear shirt hemmed with silk. Pointing to the collar of his shirt al-Hasan (al-Basri) said: The perfume used by men should have an odour but no colour, and the perfume used by women should have a colour but no odour. Sa'id said: I think he said: They interpreted his tradition about perfume used by women as applying when she comes out. But when she is with her husband, she may use any perfume she wishes.  

أبو داود:٤٠٤٨حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ أَرْكَبُ الأُرْجُوَانَ وَلاَ أَلْبَسُ الْمُعَصْفَرَ وَلاَ أَلْبَسُ الْقَمِيصَ الْمُكَفَّفَ بِالْحَرِيرِ قَالَ وَأَوْمَأَ الْحَسَنُ إِلَى جَيْبِ قَمِيصِهِ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَلاَ وَطِيبُ الرِّجَالِ رِيحٌ لاَ لَوْنَ لَهُ أَلاَ وَطِيبُ النِّسَاءِ لَوْنٌ لاَ رِيحَ لَهُ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ أُرَاهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا حَمَلُوا قَوْلَهُ فِي طِيبِ النِّسَاءِ عَلَى أَنَّهَا إِذَا خَرَجَتْ فَأَمَّا إِذَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا فَلْتَطَّيَّبْ بِمَا شَاءَتْ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "I do not ride rainbows, nor do I wear saffron, nor do I wear a shirt made of silk." Al-Hasan pointed to the pocket of his shirt and said, "Behold, the fragrance of men has no color, and behold, the fragrance of women has color but no scent."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I do not ride on the rainbow, nor do I wear saffron garments, nor do I wear a shirt that is embellished with silk." Al-Hasan then pointed to the pocket of his shirt and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the scent of a man should have no color, and the scent of women should have no smell."
