Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 11, Hadith 110

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu’minin: We were proceeding to Mecca along with the Prophet (ﷺ). We pasted on our foreheads the perfume known as sukk at the time of wearing ihram. When one of us perspired, it (the perfume) came down on her face. The Prophet (ﷺ) saw it but did not forbid it.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْجُنَيْدِ الدَّامَغَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ بِنْتُ طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، – رضى الله عنها – حَدَّثَتْهَا قَالَتْ كُنَّا نَخْرُجُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَنُضَمِّدُ جِبَاهَنَا بِالسُّكِّ الْمُطَيَّبِ عِنْدَ الإِحْرَامِ فَإِذَا عَرِقَتْ إِحْدَانَا سَالَ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا فَيَرَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلاَ يَنْهَاهَا ‏.‏

Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 11, Hadith 110

 
This hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. Sunan Abi Dawud constitutes a seminal work within the Kutub al-Sittah (the Six Books), the canonical compendiums of hadith in Sunni Islam. Authored by Abu Dawud Sulayman ibn al-Ash’ath al-Sijistani (817–889 CE), the collection is systematically organized into kitabs (books) that primarily address matters of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). Containing precisely 4,800 hadiths, it is critically acclaimed not only for its content but for the compiler’s scholarly annotations, which frequently assess the authenticity (sihha) and reliability of the included isnads (chains of transmission). Its status is thus one of pronounced authority, though it is not exclusively limited to sahih (authentic) grade hadiths.
