أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ الطِّيبِ فِي مَفَارِقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يُهِلُّ .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2699
This Hadith records Aishah’s statement that it was as if she could see the glistening of the perfume in the partings of the Messenger of Allah while he was entering Ihram. The translation says “while he was in Ihram,” and the Arabic wording also indicates he was entering the state with the words of Ihram. The main search topic is perfume while entering Ihram or perfume while saying Talbiyah. The report does not mention a new act of applying perfume at that moment. It describes the visible shine that Aishah remembered seeing. This narration is closely related to other reports about perfume in the Prophet’s hair parting, but it has its own wording and should be kept clear.
What we learn from this hadith
- Aishah remembered the glistening perfume in the Prophet’s hair partings.
- The report connects the sight with the Prophet entering Ihram.
- The Hadith describes visibility, not a new perfume application.
- The wording helps explain the timing of the observation.
