Sahih al-Bukhari 4778 (Book 66, Hadith 7)
the Prophet (ﷺ) was at Al-Ja’rana and was shaded by a garment hanging over him and some of his
companions were with him, a man perfumed with scent came and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! What is
your opinion regarding a man who assumes Ihram and puts on a cloak after perfuming his body with
scent?” The Prophet (ﷺ) waited for a while, and then the Divine Inspiration descended upon him. `Umar
pointed out to Ya`la, telling him to come. Ya`la came and pushed his head (underneath the screen
which was covering the Prophet (ﷺ) ) and behold! The Prophet’s face was red and he kept on breathing
heavily for a while and then he was relieved. Thereupon he said, “Where is the questioner who asked
me about `Umra a while ago?” The man was sought and then was brought before the Prophet (ﷺ) who said
(to him), “As regards the scent which you perfumed your body with, you must wash it off thrice, and
as for your cloak, you must take it off; and then perform in your `Umra all those things which you
perform in Hajj.”
