وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَأَنَّمَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ الطِّيبِ فِي مَفَارِقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1190e
This hadith about perfume shine in Ihram repeats the clear memory of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. She says she still seems to see the glistening of perfume in the hair partings of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم while he was in the state of Ihram. The main lesson is drawn from the wording itself: a visible trace of perfume remained, and Aisha connected that scene with Ihram. The narration does not move into unrelated details. It stays with the hair parting, the shine of perfume, and the state of Ihram. This makes it useful for searches such as perfume in Ihram hadith and Aisha saw perfume on Prophet’s head.
What we learn from this hadith
- Aisha clearly mentions the shine of perfume.
- The visible perfume was in the Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم hair partings.
- The report links this memory to the state of Ihram.
