Khaluq perfume for men

Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I had saffron on. He said: "O Ya'la! Do you have a wife?" I said: No. He said: "Go and wash it off, wash it off, and then do not put it on again." I went and washed it, then washed it again, and then I never put it on again.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked yellow colour, meaning khaluq (a saffron-based perfume).

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the use of saffron.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Sayyiduna Sawad bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) wearing khaluq (yellow perfume). He said to him: "Take it off, take it off! Wars, wars (use wars instead)."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The angels do not come near a person who has smeared himself with khaluq, a yellow perfume.

Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Basrah, he saw Qays bin Ubad with a trace of yellow on him, or he said: of khaluq. Al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) looked at him, so he went, washed it off and came back. Al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "How quickly this man took the hint!"

Yazid bin Abi Ziyad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) was invited one night to a wedding. There he applied a scented oil that had yellow colouring in it, and in the morning there was yellow in his beard. He washed it, but it did not come off, so he washed it again with soap.

Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I returned from a journey and my family applied to me something that had yellow colouring in it. I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with salam, but he did not return my greeting nor welcome me. He said: "Go and wash this off." I went and washed it, but some trace of it remained. I came and greeted him, but he did not return my greeting nor welcome me, and he said: "Go and wash this off." I went and washed it, then I came and greeted him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) welcomed me and said: "The angels do not come near the funeral of a disbeliever, nor a person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub), nor a man smeared with khaluq (yellow perfume)."
