English translation

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.'"

4048 - حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا أَرْكَبُ الْأُرْجُوَانَ، وَلَا أَلْبَسُ الْمُعَصْفَرَ، وَلَا أَلْبَسُ الْقَمِيصَ الْمُكَفَّفَ بِالْحَرِيرِ» قَالَ: وَأَوْمَأَ الْحَسَنُ إِلَى جَيْبِ قَمِيصِهِ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ «أَلَا وَطِيبُ الرِّجَالِ رِيحٌ لَا لَوْنَ لَهُ، أَلَا وَطِيبُ النِّسَاءِ لَوْنٌ لَا رِيحَ لَهُ» قَالَ سَعِيدٌ: أُرَهُ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا حَمَلُوا قَوْلَهُ فِي طِيبِ النِّسَاءِ عَلَى أَنَّهَا إِذَا خَرَجَتْ فَأَمَّا إِذَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا فَلْتَطَّيَّبْ بِمَا شَاءَتْ

Commentary

Meaning, the perfume used by men should not display any color on the skin, and the perfume of women should not have a strong fragrance to attract men.
