Brief Explanation
Explanation: From this blessed hadith, it is understood that musk is the finest fragrance. In one hadith it is stated: "Musk is your best fragrance." [أبو داود : 3156 ، وسنده صحيح] The odor that comes from the mouth of a fasting person is also likened to musk. [بخاري : 1904] And when the soul of a believer departs, its example is also given with musk. [مسلم : 2872] The garden that was granted to Sayyiduna Anas radi Allahu anhu by virtue of the supplication of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, which used to bear fruit twice a year, would also emit the fragrance of musk. [ترمذي : 3833 ، وسنده صحيح] The sweat of the people of Paradise will be like musk. [بخاري : 3245 ، مسلم : 2834] The soil of Paradise is like musk. [بخاري : 349] On the Day of Resurrection, the wounds of those injured in the path of Allah will emit the fragrance of musk. [ترمذي : 1957 ، وسنده صحيح]
