It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a group of people among whom was a man who had applied perfume (of saffron or khaluq). He (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted them with salam and turned away from that man. The man said: "O Messenger of Allah, you greeted all of them and turned away from me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Between your eyes there is redness (the mark of khaluq)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ali bin Rabi'ah except Sa'id bin Ubayd, and no one narrated it from Sa'id except al-Qasim, and Zakariyya bin Yahya al-Lu'lu'i is alone in narrating it."
