729. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saw some sputum in the Qiblah of the Masjid, and he became so angry that his face turned red. Then a woman from the Anṣār went and scratched off, and put some perfume in its place. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'How good this is.'" (Ṣaḥīh)
728 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَائِذُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَغَضِبَ حَتَّى احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ، فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَحَكَّتْهَا وَجَعَلَتْ مَكَانَهَا خَلُوقًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا»

Khalûq is a kind of colored perfume, which is generally used by women because colored substance is forbidden to men. However, its application to the mosque is permitted. (Khalûq signifies a certain type of perfume of thick substance, and in which there is yellowness. It is composed of saffron and other things, and redness and yellowness are predominant in it). It is forbidden (for men) because it is of the perfumes for women, who use it more than do men. (Lane Vol. 1, P. 802)]
