Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him), son of Murrah (may Allah have mercy on him), narrates that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me and I had applied saffron. He said, "O Ya'la! Do you have a wife?" I said, "No." He said, "Go and wash it off, wash it off, and do not apply it again." I went, washed it off, washed it again, and never applied it again.
