Sahih Muslim: Book 15, Hadith 54
Muhammad b. al-Muntashir reported on the authority of his father: I heard from Ibn ‘Umar having said this:” It is dearer to me to rub tar (on my body) than to enter upon the state of Ihram (in a state) of shaking off the perfume.” He (the narrator) said: I went to ‘A’isha and told her about this statement of his (of Ibn ‘Umar). Thereupon she said: I applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he then went round his wives and then entered upon the state of Ihram in the morning.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، وَسُفْيَانَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ، الْمُنْتَشِرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، – رضى الله عنهما – يَقُولُ لأَنْ أُصْبِحَ مُطَّلِيًا بِقَطِرَانٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُصْبِحَ مُحْرِمًا أَنْضَخُ طِيبًا – قَالَ – فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ – رضى الله عنها – فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِقَوْلِهِ فَقَالَتْ طَيَّبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَطَافَ فِي نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ مُحْرِمًا .
