Urdu footnote:
This hadith does not mean that in other prayers she may come wearing perfume; rather, the mention of ‘Isha is because this is the time when women apply fragrance, as has been stated in hadith number 5131. Furthermore, in hadith number 5137, the mention is of prayer in general. It is also possible that due to the darkness, women would attend more at this time, just as they would come for Fajr.
