5126 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عِمَارَةَ، عَنْ غُنَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ اسْتَعْطَرَتْ فَمَرَّتْ عَلَى قَوْمٍ لِيَجِدُوا مِنْ رِيحِهَا فَهِيَ زَانِيَةٌ»

Commentary
'She is an adulteress' means it is a sign of a woman's loose character and of her having been an adulteress that she exhibits her adornment to people, so that people might be drawn to her and desire her.
