Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Khafif al-mahmal:
It is easy to carry or bear,
The one who is given the gift of perfume,
It is not a burden for him, nor is it a burden for the one giving the gift,
In the case of refusal, it would unnecessarily hurt his feelings,
Which is not appropriate.
