Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates from his father: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wipe our faces before the prayer and supplicate for blessing for us. One day I came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped the faces of the people on my right and on my left and left me out. The reason was that I had visited a sister of mine, and she had put a little yellow (dye, or the perfume called khaluq) on my face. I was told: "The Messenger of Allah left you out because he saw (the yellow dye) on your face." I went to a well, entered it and washed. Then I attended the next prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me, wiped my face, supplicated for blessing for me and said: "Al-Ala' has returned with the best of his religion; he has repented, and the sky has sent down rain."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
Al-Tirmidhi recorded this from Sayyiduna Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him), while here it is from Sayyiduna Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) from his father.
Ahmad recorded it.
