5131. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If a woman has perfumed herself with incense, let her not attend 'Ishâ' prayer.'" (Sahîh) Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: I do not know of anyone who followed up Yazîd bin Khusaifah (by also narrating) from Busr bin Sa'eed, for the saying of Abû Hurairah. Ya'qûb bin 'Abdullâh Ibn Al-Ashajj contradicted him, he reported it from Zainab Ath-Thaqafiyyah.

٥١٢٨ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ عِيسَى الْبَغْدَادِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو عَلْقَمَةَ الْفَرْوِيُّ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ، عَنْ ‌بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَصَابَتْ بَخُورًا فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَنَا الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ». قَالَ ‌أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا تَابَعَ يَزِيدَ بْنَ خُصَيْفَةَ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَقَدْ خَالَفَهُ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، رَوَاهُ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ الثَّقَفِيَّةِ.

Commentary

Bakhûr means incense; when lighted with fire, its fragrance is sensed, as are incense sticks, etc. in modern days. It is not permissible for a woman to go out of home, applying any kind of fragrance, whether she goes to the mosque or anywhere else. The Isha prayer is specifically mentioned, because incense would be burned more at that time for various reasons.
