When the Prophet of Allah ﷺ conquered Makkah. The people of Makkah began to bring their boys and he would invoke a blessing on them and rub their heads. I was brought, but as I had been perfumed with khaluq, he did not touch me because of the khaluq.  

أبو داود:٤١٨١حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ

لَمَّا فَتَحَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ جَعَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ يَأْتُونَهُ بِصِبْيَانِهِمْ فَيَدْعُو لَهُمْ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَيَمْسَحُ رُءُوسَهُمْ قَالَ فَجِيءَ بِي إِلَيْهِ وَأَنَا مُخَلَّقٌ فَلَمْ يَمَسَّنِي مِنْ أَجْلِ الْخَلُوقِ

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Makkah, the people of Makkah would bring their children to him, and he would wipe his hand over their heads and supplicate for them. So, one day I was brought to him, and I had been adorned with fine clothes and beautified with ornaments. However, he did not wipe his hand over my head, and nothing prevented him from doing so except that my mother had adorned me with fine clothes and ornaments.

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Mecca, he asked the people of Mecca to bring their children to him, and he would wipe his hand over their heads and pray for them. I was brought to him, and I was praised for my good character. However, he did not wipe his hand over my head or touch me. The only reason for this was that my mother gave birth to me with good character.
