5373. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Prophet ﷺ lay down on a leather mat and sweated. Umm Sulaim got up and collected his sweat and put it in a bottle. The Prophet ﷺ saw her and said: "What are you doing O Umm Sulaim? She said: "I am putting your sweat in my perfume." And the Prophet ﷺ smiled. (Sahîh)
5371 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَزِيرِ أَبُو مُطَرِّفٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى نَطْعٍ، فَعَرِقَ، فَقَامَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى عَرَقِهِ فَنَشَّفَتْهُ، فَجَعَلَتْهُ فِي قَارُورَةٍ، فَرَآهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا هَذَا الَّذِي تَصْنَعِينَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ؟» قَالَتْ: أَجْعَلُ عَرَقَكَ فِي طِيبِي، فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

1. 'Leather mat or rug. (The term used in Arabic is Nata. It means a leather mat or rug or spread used as a table-cloth, and gaming board)': It happens to be superior to a cloth-sheet in every way. The purpose is that it is not blameworthy to use excellent things. 2. 'He laid down to rest': Umm Sulaim and Umm Harâm were related to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in a way that they were his unmarriageable kin. On that account (Umm Sulaim and Umm Harâm were sisters, and they had a bond of relationship with the maternal side of the Prophet's ﷺ grandfather), Allâh's Messenger ﷺ used to visit them sometimes in their houses and rest there. 3. 'Collected or scooped out the Prophet's ﷺ perspiration': So to say, she took or absorbed the perspiration with some piece of cloth, and then she squeezed the cloth into her perfume or into an empty bottle. And Allâh knows best!
