It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) (and the two grandfathers of al-Rabi' bin Anas (may Allah have mercy on him), Zayd and Ziyad (may Allah have mercy on them both), used to go to him in Basrah to read the Qur'an) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The prayer of a man is not accepted as long as any trace of it (the scented yellow dye) remains on his skin or his body." The narrator said: What is meant by it is the yellow-coloured perfume (saffron and the like).
