Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بالجعرانة إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ وَهُوَ مُتَضَمِّخٌ بِالْخَلُوقِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَحْرَمْتُ بِالْعُمْرَةِ وَهَذِهِ عَلَيَّ. فَقَالَ: «أَمَا الطِّيبُ الَّذِي بِكَ فَاغْسِلْهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأَمَّا الْجُبَّةُ فَانْزِعْهَا ثُمَّ اصْنَعْ فِي عُمْرَتِكَ كَمَا تَصْنَعُ فِي حَجِّكَ»

Ya‘la ibn Umayyah reported: We were with the Prophet ﷺ at al-Ji‘ranah when a Bedouin man came wearing a tunic and covered in khuluq perfume. He said: “Messenger of Allah, I entered ihram for ‘Umrah while wearing this.” He replied: “As for the perfume on you, wash it off three times. As for the tunic, take it off. Then perform your ‘Umrah as you perform your Hajj.” [Agreed upon]
