Arabic text
431 - أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ بِشْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: «كُنْتُ أُطَيِّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ، ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ مُحْرِمًا يَنْضَخُ طِيبًا»

Commentary
Some other narrations have the clarification that Allâh's Messenger ﷺ performed the bath only once at the end. Had he taken a bath after each act of sexual intercourse, the after-effect of the fragrance would have been completely eradicated. Its fragrance most likely would not have lingered on.
