سنن نسائی · Hadith 5139

It was narrated that Ya’la bin Murrah Ath-Thaqafi said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم aii saw me wearing a little dab of Khalaq. He said: ‘Ya’la, do you have a wife?’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Wash it off and do not put it on again, then wash it off and do not put it on again, then wash it off and do not put it on again.” I said: “So I washed it off, and did not put it on again, then I washed it off, and did not put it on again, then I washed it off, and did not put it on again.”
