عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ
سَلْمَى ، عَنْ
أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، " أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَافَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ يَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ وَعِنْدَ هَذِهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَا تَجْعَلُهُ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا ؟ قَالَ : هَذَا أَزْكَى وَأَطْيَبُ وَأَطْهَرُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَحَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ أَصَحُّ مِنْ هَذَا .
Narrated Abu Rafi: One day the Prophet ﷺ had intercourse with all his wives. He took a bath after each intercourse. I asked him: Messenger of Allah, why don't you make it a single bath? He replied: This is more purifying, better and cleaning. Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Anas is more sound that this tradition.

Commentary:
From this hadith, it is understood that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) paid great attention to cleanliness and purity.
For this reason, he had an immense liking for fragrance, while he greatly disliked foul odors and things that emit unpleasant smells. Therefore, he forbade the use of onions, garlic, or other such items that produce an offensive odor when eaten, before coming for prayer.
