Muwatta Malik #755
Hajj
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَسْلَمَ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، وَجَدَ رِيحَ طِيبٍ وَهُوَ بِالشَّجَرَةِ فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ رِيحُ هَذَا الطِّيبِ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ مِنِّي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ . فَقَالَ مِنْكَ لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ طَيَّبَتْنِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ لَتَرْجِعَنَّ فَلْتَغْسِلَنَّهُ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Aslam, the mawla of
Umar ibn al Khattab, that Umar ibn al-Khattab discovered the smell of
perfume while he was at ash-Shajara, and he asked, "Who is this smell
of perfume coming from?" Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan answered, "From me,
amir al-muminin." Umar said, "From you? By the life of Allah!" Muawiya
explained, "Umm Habiba perfumed me, amir al-muminin. "'Umar then said,
"You must go back and wash it off."
