Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2227 — The disapproval of khaluq perfume

Ishaq bin Suwayd said: I heard Abu Habibah narrating about the man who came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him a question. That man said: I asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) while I was wearing perfume mixed with saffron (in the state of ihram), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Go and take a bath (ghusl)." So I went and bathed, then came back. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said the same thing three times. The man said: Then I went and went down into a well, took a nashfah, meaning a stone, and began rubbing with it to purify myself; then I bathed and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Now state your need."
I (Ibn Hajar) say: Imam Abu Dawud has narrated a hadith of similar meaning from Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him).
