Chapter 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

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I applied the best perfume, which I could get, to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before entering upon the state of Ihram (and after this) he put on the Ihram.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I applied the best available perfume I could find to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before he entered upon the state of Ihram and after he was free from it.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I still seem to see the glistening of the perfume where the hair parted on Allah's Messenger's (ﷺ) head as he was in the state of Ihram, and Khalaf (one of the narrators) did not say: As he was in the state of Ihram, but said: That was the perfume of Ihram.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I still seem to see the glistening of the perfume where the hair parted on Allah's Messenger's (ﷺ) head and he was free from Ihram.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I still seem to see the glistening of the perfume where the hair parted on Allah's Messenger's (ﷺ) head, while he was pronouncing Talbiya.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I still seem to see; the rest of the hadith is the same.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said

I still seem to see the glistening of the perfume where the hair was parted on Allah's Messeinger's (ﷺ) head while he was in the state of Ihram.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I still seem to perceive the glistening of perfume where the hair was parted on Allah's Messenger's (ﷺ) head as he was in the state of Ihram.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) intended to enter upon the state of Ihram he perfumed himself with the best of perfumes which he could find and after that I saw the glistening of oil on his head and beard.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I still seem to see the glistening of musk (in the parting of the head) of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was in the state of Ihram.

This hadith has been narrated by 'Ubaidullah with the same chain of transmitters.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I used to perfume the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with a perfume containing musk before entering upon the state of Ihram and on the day of sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja) and (at the conclusion of Ihram) before circumambulating the House (for Tawaf-i-Ifada).

Muhammad b. al-Muntashir reported on the authority of his father

I asked 'Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with them) about a person who applied perfume and then (on the following) morning entered upon the state of lhram. Thereupon he said: I do not like to enter upon the state of Ihram shaking off the perfume. Rubbing of tar (upon my body) is dearer to me than doing this (i. e. the applying of perfume), I went to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and told her that Ibn 'Umar stated:" I do not like to enter upon the state of Ihram shaking off the perfume. Rubbing of tar (upon my body) is dearer to me than doing it (the applying of perfume)." Thereupon 'A'isha said: I applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at the time of his entering upon the state of Ihram. He then went round his wives and then put on Ihram in the morning.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported

I used to apply perfume to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He then went round his wives, and entered upon the state of Ihram in the morning and the perfume was shaken off.

Muhammad b. al-Muntashir reported on the authority of his father

I heard from Ibn 'Umar having said this:" It is dearer to me to rub tar (on my body) than to enter upon the state of Ihram (in a state) of shaking off the perfume." He (the narrator) said: I went to 'A'isha and told her about this statement of his (of Ibn 'Umar). Thereupon she said: I applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he then went round his wives and then entered upon the state of Ihram in the morning.

Chapter 8: The prohibition of hunting game for the one who has entered Ihram for Hajj or for Umrah or for both

Al-Sa'b b. Jaththama al-Laithi reported that he presented a wild ass to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he was at al-Abwa', or Waddan, and he refused to accept it. He (the narrator) said

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) looked into my face (which had the mark of dejection as my present had been rejected by him) he (in order to console me) said: We have refused it only because we are in a state of Ihram.

A hadith (pertaining to this topic), has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri (and the words are)

" I presented to him (the Holy Prophet) a wild ass."

It is narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters (the narrator having) said this

" I presented to him the flesh of a wild ass."

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported that al-Sa'b b. Jaththama presented to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) a wild ass as he was in a state of Ihram, and he returned it to him saying

If we were not in a state of Ihram, we would have accepted it from you.

The narration transmitted by Hakam (the words are)

Al-Sa'b b. Jaththama presented to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) the leg of a wild ass. And in the narration transmitted by Shu'ba (the words are): (He presented to him) the rump of a wild ass as the blood was trickling from it. In the narration transmitted by Shu'ba on the authority of Habib (the words are): A part of a wild ass was presented to the Apostle (may peace he upon him) and he returned it to him (who presented it).
