Volume 6, Book 61, Number 508:
Narrated Safwan bin Ya’la bin Umaiya:
Ya’la used to say, “I wish I could see Allah’s Apostle at the time he is being inspired Divinely.”
When the Prophet 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 Apostle! What is
your opinion regarding a man who assumes Ihram and puts on a cloak after perfuming his body
with scent?” The Prophet 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 ) 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 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.”
