١٥۔ كتاب الحج

15.7 It is recommended to apply perfume just before entering Ihram, and it is recommended to use Musk, and it does not matter if its glistening traces remain

١٥۔٧ باب الطِّيبِ لِلْمُحْرِمِ عِنْدَ الإِحْرَامِ

(739) bukhari:1539ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Qāsim from his father > ʿĀʾishah

(the wife of the Prophet ﷺ I used to scent Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he wanted to assume Ihram and also on finishing Ihram before the Tawaf round the Kaʿba (Tawaf-al-ifada).  

(٧٣٩) البخاري:١٥٣٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أُطَيِّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لإِحْرَامِهِ حِينَ يُحْرِمُ وَلِحِلِّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ  

(740) bukhari:271Ādam > Shuʿbah > al-Ḥakam > Ibrāhīm > al-Aswad > ʿĀʾishah

It is as if I am just looking at the glitter of scent in the parting of the Prophet's head hair while he was a Muhrim.  

(٧٤٠) البخاري:٢٧١حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ الطِّيبِ فِي مَفْرِقِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهْوَ مُحْرِمٌ  

(741) bukhari:270Abū al-Nuʿmān > Abū ʿAwānah > Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad b. al-Muntashir from his father > Saʾalt ʿĀʾishah Fadhakart Lahā Qawl Ibn ʿUmar Mā Uḥib > Uṣbiḥ Muḥrim Anḍakh Ṭīb > ʿĀʾishah

I asked ʿAisha about the saying of Ibn ʿUmar (i.e. he did not like to be a Muhrim while the smell of scent was still coming from his body). ʿAisha said, "I scented Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he went round (had sexual intercourse with) all his wives, and in the morning he was Muhrim (after taking a bath)."  

(٧٤١) البخاري:٢٧٠حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهَا قَوْلَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصْبِحَ مُحْرِمًا أَنْضَخُ طِيبًا، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: أَنَا طَيَّبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ طَافَ فِي نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ مُحْرِمًا۔
