Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2684
This Hadith speaks about perfume before Ihram and perfume when exiting Ihram. Aishah said that she put perfume on the Messenger of Allah when he decided to enter Ihram. She also said she perfumed him when he exited Ihram, before he exited Ihram, with her own hand. The wording highlights two times: before entering the state of Ihram and at the time of coming out of it. The Hadith is not about wearing perfume after already being in Ihram as a new action. It reports what Aishah did for the Prophet around the start and end of Ihram. The simple message is that the Prophet’s preparation for worship was known in the household, and Aishah preserved this detail clearly.

- Aishah directly reported how she applied perfume to the Prophet.
- Perfume is mentioned in connection with entering and exiting Ihram.
- The Hadith highlights preparation before Ihram begins.
