Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 14004 — Those who disliked perfume

Abd al-Rahman says: I performed Hajj once and met Abd al-Rahman bin Amr bin al-As. When it was time for ihram, we applied some perfume. Abd al-Rahman said to me, "I wish you had not done that. I once performed Hajj with Sayyiduna Uthman bin Abi al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), and he entered ihram from al-Manjashaniyah, which is near Basrah, and he said to us: 'Use this white clay and wash your heads with it when entering ihram.'"
