590. It was narrated from Abu Rāfi' that the Prophet ﷺ went around to all of his wives in one night, and he had a bath after each one of them. It was said to him: "O Messenger of Allāh, why not make it one bath?" He said: "This is purer, better and cleaner." (Hasan)
590 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ سَلْمَى، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «طَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ، وَكَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَا تَجْعَلُهُ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا، فَقَالَ: «هُوَ أَزْكَى، وَأَطْيَبُ، وَأَطْهَرُ»

The Hadith proves that the Prophet ﷺ was extremely particular about cleanliness and purity. This also explains why he so much loved perfume and why he had profound abhorrence for things of foul odour or smell.
