٤٠۔ كتاب الألفاظ من الأدب وغيرها
There was a woman from Bani Isra'il who was short-statured and she walked in the company of two tall women with wooden sandals in her feet and a ring of gold made of plates with musk filled in them and then looked up, and musk is the best of scents; then she walked between two women and they (the people) did not recognise her, and she made a gesture with her hand like this, and Shu'ba shook his hand in order to give an indication how she shook her hand.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَصِيرَةٌ تَمْشِي مَعَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ طَوِيلَتَيْنِ فَاتَّخَذَتْ رِجْلَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبٍ وَخَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُغْلَقٍ مُطْبَقٍ ثُمَّ حَشَتْهُ مِسْكًا وَهُوَ أَطْيَبُ الطِّيبِ فَمَرَّتْ بَيْنَ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوهَا فَقَالَتْ بِيَدِهَا هَكَذَا وَنَفَضَ شُعْبَةُ يَدَهُ
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a mention of a woman of Bana Isra'il who had filled her ring with musk and musk is the most fragrant of the scents.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَشَتْ خَاتَمَهَا مِسْكًا وَالْمِسْكُ أَطْيَبُ الطِّيبِ
He who is presented with a flower should not reject it, for it is light to carry and pleasant in odour.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ رَيْحَانٌ فَلاَ يَرُدُّهُ فَإِنَّهُ خَفِيفُ الْمَحْمِلِ طَيِّبُ الرِّيحِ
هَكَذَا كَانَ يَسْتَجْمِرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
