Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I wish to marry off my daughter, and I would like you to help me somewhat in this regard. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not have anything, but come tomorrow, and bring a bottle with a wide mouth, and bring a twig of a tree along with it. The sign between me and you will be that I will close the corner of the door." The man brought a bottle with a wide mouth and brought a twig of a tree, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped the sweat from his forearms and filled that bottle. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take this! And tell your daughter that when she wishes to apply perfume, she should dip this twig into this bottle and then apply perfume with it." The narrator says: Whenever that woman applied perfume, the people of Madinah would perceive that fragrance, and their house became known as "the House of the Fragrant Ones".
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Halbas al-Kalbi, and he is matruk (abandoned).
