Perfuming the mosques with saffron scent
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 7641 — Perfuming the mosques with saffron
٧٦٤١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: (نا) (١) (أبو) (٢) معاوية عن عاصم عن العباس (ابن) (٣) عبد الرحمن الهاشمي، قال: أول ما خلقت المساجد أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ رأى ⦗٩٥⦘ في المسجد نخامة، فحكها ثم أمر بخلوق فلطخ مكانها قال: فخلق الناس المساجد (٤).
Al-Abbas bin Abd al-Rahman al-Hashimi said: "Perfuming the mosques with a saffron-based perfume (khaluq) began like this: once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw phlegm that had fallen in the mosque. He scraped it off and then ordered that saffron-based perfume be applied to its place. After that, people began applying saffron-based perfume in the mosques."
