The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَدَّهِنُ بِالزَّيْتِ‏.‏ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِقَوْلِهِ حَدَّثَنِي الأَسْوَدُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ الطِّيبِ فِي مَفَارِقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ‏.‏

Ibn `Umar used to oil his hair. I told that to Ibrahim who said, "What do you think about this statement: Narrated Aswad from `Aisha: As if I were now observing the glitter of the scent in the parting of the hair of the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was Muhrim?"

Narrated by Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:

Context

In this hadith, Ibn `Umar is noted for oiling his hair, which raises a discussion about the practices of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) during the state of Ihram. Aisha's observation of the Prophet's hair, which bore the scent of perfume even while in Ihram, illustrates the balance between maintaining personal grooming and adhering to the rules of pilgrimage. The takeaway emphasizes the importance of personal care while observing religious duties.

Modern Application

In today's context, this hadith reminds Muslims that maintaining personal hygiene and grooming is important, even during significant religious observances like Hajj or Umrah. Many people take care to look presentable while fulfilling their spiritual obligations, showing that faith and personal care can coexist.

Topics
