3158 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُسْتَمِرُ بْنُ الرَّيَّانِ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَطْيَبُ طِيبِكُمُ الْمِسْكُ»

Commentary

Putting some kind of perfume on the deceased is desirable. It is, however, better that it be musk.
