Those who ordered the use of perfume

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is incumbent upon the Muslims that they take a ritual bath (ghusl) on Friday, and that they apply perfume if they have any; and if they have no perfume, then water is perfume for them."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said: On Friday it is incumbent upon a Muslim to use the tooth-stick (miswak), to wear his best clothes, and to apply perfume if he has any.

Nafi' said: When Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) went to the Friday prayer, he would take a ritual bath (ghusl) and apply the best perfume he had.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I say from my own opinion that if someone has perfume, he should apply it before going to the Friday prayer.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: For it (the Friday prayer) there is a ritual bath, and perfume if he has it.

Mujahid said: On Friday, wear your best clothes and apply your best perfume.

Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah said: I met thirty men of the tribe of Muzaynah, every one of whom had either struck with a spear or been wounded by a spear, and had either struck with a sword or been wounded by a sword. On Friday they would all take a ritual bath, wear their best clothes, apply perfume and go to the Friday prayer. They would pray two rak'ahs and then sit and teach knowledge.

Nafi' said: Every Friday Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to perfume his clothes with incense.
