It is narrated from the freed slave of Abu Ruhm that once Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) encountered a woman who had applied perfume. He asked her, "Are you intending to go to the mosque?" She replied, "Yes." He asked, "Is it for this reason that you have applied perfume?" She replied, "Yes!" He said, "The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Any woman who leaves her house having applied perfume with the intention of going to the mosque, Allah does not accept her prayer until she returns home and washes it off in the manner of washing after impurity.' Therefore, go and wash it off."

Abu Hazim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I had the honor of sitting with Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) for five years. I heard him narrate this hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Among the Children of Israel, the affairs of the state used to be managed by the Prophets (peace be upon them). When one Prophet passed away, another Prophet would succeed him. But after me, since there will be no Prophet, there will be caliphs in this Ummah and they will be many. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "Then what do you command us?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Fulfill the pledge of allegiance to each one according to his turn, and give them the right that Allah has prescribed for them, for Allah Himself will question them regarding their subjects."
