حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ وَكِيعٍ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، وَسُفْيَانَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ لأَنْ أُصْبِحَ مُطَّلِيًا بِقَطِرَانٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُصْبِحَ مُحْرِمًا أَنْضَخُ طِيبًا ‏‏.‏‏ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِقَوْلِهِ فَقَالَتْ

طَيَّبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَطَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ مُحْرِمًا ‏‏.‏‏

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

"I heard Ibn 'Umar say: 'I would rather wake up in the morning covered in tar than wake up and enter Ihram with the smell of perfume coming from me.' I entered upon 'Aishah and told her what he had said, and she said: 'I put perfume on the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he went round to all his wives, then in the morning he entered Ihram.'"
