أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ بِشْرٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الطِّيبِ، عِنْدَ الإِحْرَامِ فَقَالَ لأَنْ أَطَّلِيَ بِالْقَطِرَانِ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ

أُطَيِّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَطُوفُ فِي نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ يَنْضَحُ طِيبًا ‏.‏

It was narrated from Ibrahim bin Al-Muntashir that his father said:

"I asked Ibn 'Umar about wearing perfume when entering Ihram and he said: 'If I were to be daubed with tar that would be dearer to me than that, I mentioned that to 'Aishah and she said: 'May Allah have mercy on Abu 'Abdur-Rahman. I used to put perfume on the Messenger of Allah then he would go around his wives, then in the morning he would be smelling strongly of perfume.

قَوْله ( لِأَنْ أَطَّلِيَ ) يُقَال طَلَيْته بِكَذَا إِذَا لَطَّخْته وَأَطْلَيْت اِفْتَعَلْت مِنْهُ إِذَا فَعَلْته بِنَفْسِك فَالتَّشْدِيد هَاهُنَا أَظْهَر وإن خَفَّفْت تُقَدِّر الْمَفْعُول أَيْ نَفْسِي ( بِالْقَطِرَانِ ) بِفَتْحِ فَكَسْرٍ مَعْرُوف وَاللَّام فِي لِأَنْ أَطَّلِي مَفْتُوحَة وَهُوَ مُبْتَدَأ خَبَره أَحَبّ ( يَنْضَخ طِيبًا ) بِالْخَاءِ الْمُعْجَمَة أَيّ يَفُوح أَوْ بِالْمُهْمَلَةِ أَيْ يَتَرَشَّح.…

كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ الطِّيبِ فِي مَفَارِقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ‏.‏
