4048. It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Abi 'Arūbah, from Qatādah, from Al-Ḥasan, from 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain that the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: "I do not ride on Urjuwān[1] and I do not wear Al-Mu'asfar (clothes dyed with safflower) nor do I wear Qamīṣ hemmed with silk." – He said: "Al-Ḥasan pointed to the neck of his Qamīṣ." – He said: "And he said: 'Perfume for men should have a scent and no color, and perfume for women should have a color and no scent.'" (Da'if)
Sa'eed said: "I think he said: 'They understood his words concerning women's perfume as applying to if she goes out; if she is with her husband then she may wear whatever perfume she wants.'"
