Musnad Ahmad 9937 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)

It is narrated from Ubayd, the freed slave of Abu Ruhm, that he said: I came out of the mosque with Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he saw a woman from whom the scent of perfume was spreading, and dust was rising from the hem of her garment. He said, "O servant of the Almighty, have you come from the mosque?" She said, "Yes." He asked, "Did you apply perfume for it?" She said, "Yes." He said, "Then go back, for I heard Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Allah does not accept the prayer of a woman who applies perfume for the mosque, or for this mosque, until she takes a bath like the bath of janabah.'"
