Hadith 4177

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ عَطَاءِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْخُوَارِ ، أَنَّه سَمِعُ يَحْيَى بْنَ يَعْمَرَ يُخْبِرُ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ ، زَعَمَ عُمَرُ : أَنَّ يَحْيَى سَمَّى ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ ، فَنَسِيَ عُمَرُ اسْمَهُ أَنَّ عَمَّارًا ، قَالَ : تَخَلَّقْتُ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ وَالْأَوَّلُ أَتَمُّ بِكَثِيرٍ فِيهِ ذِكْرُ الْغُسْلِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ : وَهُمْ حُرُمٌ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، الْقَوْمُ مُقِيمُونَ .
The tradition mentioned above (No. 4164) has also been transmitted by Ammar ibn Yasir through a different chain of narrators. This version has: Ammar said: I used khaluq. The first version is more perfect; it mentioned "taking a bath". Ibn Jurayj said: I said to Umar (a transmitter): They might be wearing ihram (robe of pilgrim)? He replied: No, they were residents.

Benefits and Issues:
Some researchers have also classified this narration as hasan, therefore it is understood that the prohibition of saffron was not merely due to the state of ihram, but rather, it is prohibited for men in general circumstances as well.
