سنن نسائی · Hadith 2674

It was narrated from Safwan bin Umayyah, from his father, that he said: “I wished that I could see the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم , when Revelation was coming down to him. While we were in Al-Ji’rranah and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was in a tent, Revelation was coming down to him and ‘Umar gestured to me to come. So I put my head into the tent. A man had come to him who had entered Ihram wearing a Jubbah having applied perfume. He said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, what do you say concerning a man who entered hiram wearing a Jubbah?’ Then (because of this question) the Revelation came. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم started to breath deeply, and when it was over he said: ‘Where is the man who asked me just now?’ The man was brought to him, and he said: ‘As for the Jubbah, take it off, and as for the perfume, wash it off, then enter Ihram.” (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: “Then enter Ihram”, I do not know anyone who said it other than Nub bin Habib and I do not consider it preserved, Allah Glory be to Him, the Most High – knows best.
