Sahih al-Bukhari 1723 (Book 26, Hadith 16)
Khaluq or Sufra (a kind of perfume). The man asked (the Prophet (ﷺ) ), ‘What do you order me to perform
in my `Umra?’ So, Allah inspired the Prophet (ﷺ) divinely and he was screened by a place of cloth. I
wished to see the Prophet (ﷺ) being divinely inspired. `Umar said to me, ‘Come! Will you be pleased to
look at the Prophet (ﷺ) while Allah is inspiring him?’ I replied in the affirmative. `Umar lifted one corner
of the cloth and I looked at the Prophet (ﷺ) who was snoring. (The sub-narrator thought that he said: The
snoring was like that of a camel). When that state was over, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked, “Where is the
questioner who asked about `Umra? Put off your cloak and wash away the traces of Khaluq from your
body and clean the Sufra (yellow color) and perform in your Umra what you perform in your Hajj (i.e.
the Tawaf round the Ka`ba and the Sa`i between Safa and Marwa). “
“ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ الْعُمْرَةِ اخْلَعْ عَنْكَ الْجُبَّةَ وَاغْسِلْ أَثَرَ الْخَلُوقِ عَنْكَ، وَأَنْقِ الصُّفْرَةَ، وَاصْنَعْ فِي عُمْرَتِكَ كَمَا تَصْنَعُ فِي حَجِّكِ ”.
