´It was narrated that Nafi' said:` "When Ibn 'Umar burned incense he would burn Al-Uluwwah that was not mixed with anything else, or camphor mixed with some Al-Uluwwah. Then he said: 'This is what the Messenger of Allah [SAW] used to burn.'"
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Urdu marginal note:
“Bukhoor” is derived from “bukhar” (vapor). Since fragrant wood, when ignited, emits vapors that spread fragrance, this type of perfume is called “bukhoor.” Otherwise, bukhoor is not the name of any one specific thing.
