سنن نسائی · Hadith 419

It was narrated from Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin Al-Muntashir that his father said: “I heard Ibn ‘Umar say: ‘I would rather wake up in the morning covered in tar than wake up and enter Ii with the smell of perfume coming from me.’ I entered upon ‘Aishah and told her what he had said, and she said: ‘I put perfume on the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he went round to all his wives, then in the morning he entered Ihram.” (Sahih)
