4329. Narrated Ṣafwān bin Ya'lā bin Umayya: Ya'lā used to say, "I wish I could see Allāh's Messenger ﷺ at the time when he is being inspired Divinely." Ya'lā added "While the Prophet ﷺ was at Al-Jīrāna, shaded with a sheet of cloth (in the form of a tent) and there were staying with him, some of his Companions under it, suddenly there came to him a bedouin wearing a cloak scented with perfume. He said, "O Allāh's Messenger! What is your opinion regarding a man who assumes the state of Iḥrām for 'Umra wearing a cloak after applying perfume to his body?" 'Umar signalled with his hand to Ya'lā to come (near). Ya'lā came and put his head (underneath that cloth sheet) and saw the Prophet ﷺ in a state of having a red face, and when that state (of the Prophet ﷺ) was over, he said, "Where is he who has asked me about the 'Umra?" The man was looked for and brought to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "As for the perfume you have applied to your body, wash it (off your body) thrice, and take off your cloak, and then do in your 'Umra the same ceremonies as you do in your Hajj."
