Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih al-Bukhari 271

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ

كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ الطِّيبِ فِي مَفْرِقِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ مُحْرِمٌ‏.‏

Narrated `Aisha:

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.

Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 271, 1537, 5918), Muslim (No. 1190a, 1190b, 1190c, 1190e, 1190f), An-Nasa’i (No. 2693, 2694, 2695, 2697, 2698, 2699, 2703), Ibn Majah (No. 2927, 2928) and Ahmad (No. 23004, 23638, 23787, 23818, 23835, 24233, 24256, 24347).

Explanation in Arabic

تخبر عائشة رضي الله عنها عن حال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو محرم، فتقول: كأني أنظر إلى بريق ولمعان الطيب وسط رأسه صلى الله عليه وسلم، حيث يفرق فيه الشعر، وأرادت بذلك قوة تحققها لذلك، بحيث إنها لشدة استحضارها له كأنها ناظرة إليه، وفيه دلالة على استحباب الطيب عند إرادة الإحرام، وهذا الطيب الذي رأته تطيَّبَ به النبي عليه الصلاةوالسلام قبل الإحرام.

الدلالة على استحباب الطيب عند إرادة الإحرام، وأنه لا بأس باستدامته بعد الإحرام، وإنما يحرم ابتداؤه في الإحرام.
