A woman met him and he found the odour of perfume in her. Her clothes were fluttering in the air. He said: O maid-servant of the Almighty, are you coming from the mosque? She replied: Yes. He said: For it did you use perfume? She replied: Yes. He said: I heard my beloved AbulQasim ﷺ say: The prayer of a woman who uses perfume for this mosque is not accepted until she returns and takes a bath like that of sexual defilement (perfectly). Abu Dawud said: Al-i'sar means dust.  

لَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ وَجَدَ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الطِّيبِ يُنْفَحُ وَلِذَيْلِهَا إِعْصَارٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَمَةَ الْجَبَّارِ جِئْتِ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَلَهُ تَطَيَّبْتِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ حِبِّي أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تُقْبَلُ صَلاَةٌ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تَطَيَّبَتْ لِهَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى تَرْجِعَ فَتَغْتَسِلَ غُسْلَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ welcomed Abu Hurairah with a fragrant woman and said, "Where do you want to go, O servant of the Almighty?" She said, "To the mosque." He asked, "Have you perfumed yourself?" She replied, "Yes." Abu Hurairah said, "He (the Prophet) said, 'Any woman who goes out of her house perfumed, intending to go to the mosque, Allah will not accept her prayer until she returns and takes a bath, purifying herself from impurity.'"  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اسْتَقْبَلَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ امْرَأَةً مُتَطَيِّبَةً فَقَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدِينَ يَا أَمَةَ الْجَبَّارِ؟ فَقَالَتْ الْمَسْجِدَ فَقَالَ وَلَهُ تَطَيَّبْتِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِنَّهُ قَالَ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا مُتَطَيِّبَةً تُرِيدُ الْمَسْجِدَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللهُ ﷻ لَهَا صَلَاةً حَتَّى تَرْجِعَ فَتَغْتَسِلَ مِنْهُ غُسْلَهَا مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ
