Musnad Ahmad 17555 — Hadith of Ya'la ibn Murrah al-Thaqafi
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عن جَدِّهِ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : اغْتَسَلْتُ وَتَخَلَّقْتُ بِخَلُوقٍ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُ وُجُوهَنَا ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنِّي جَعَلَ يُجَافِي يَدَهُ عَنِ الْخَلُوقِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ، قَالَ : " يَا يَعْلَى ، مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الْخَلُوقِ ؟ أَتَزَوَّجْتَ ؟ " قُلْتُ : لَا . قَالَ لِي : " اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ " قَالَ : فَمَرَرْتُ عَلَى رَكِيَّةٍ ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَقَعُ فِيهَا ، ثُمَّ جَعَلْتُ أَتَدَلَّكُ بِالتُّرَابِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ . قَالَ : ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " عَادَ بِخَيْرِ دِينِهِ الْعَلاءُ ، تَابَ وَاسْتَهَلَّتِ السَّمَاءُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer, before the takbeer he would wipe his hand over the faces of his companions. I had applied a perfume called khuluq, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped his hand over the faces of the other companions but left me out. I went back and washed it off, and when I attended the next prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped his hand over my face and said, "You have returned with a good religion." 'Ala (Ya'la) repented, and his voice reached the sky.
