Sahih al-Bukhari 2071
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عُمَّالَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَكَانَ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ أَرْوَاحٌ فَقِيلَ لَهُمْ لَوِ اغْتَسَلْتُمْ. رَوَاهُ هَمَّامٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ.
Muhammad told me: Abd Allah ibn Yazid narrated to us: Saeed narrated to us, saying: Abu al-Aswad told me, from Urwa, who said: Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, worked with their own hands. They would sometimes have body odor, so it was said to them, “If only you would bathe.” Hammam also reported it from Hisham, from his father, from Aisha.
Translation notes
The phrase أرواح refers to bodily odor in this context.
