Narrated Safwan bin Ya`la bin Umaiya: Ya`la used to say, “I wish I could see Allah’s Apostle at the time he is being inspired Divinely.” When the Prophet was at Al-Ja’rana and was shaded by a garment hanging over him and some of his companions were with him, a man perfumed with scent came and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is your opinion regarding a man who assumes Ihram and puts on a cloak after perfuming his body with scent?” The Prophet waited for a while, and then the Divine Inspiration descended upon him. `Umar pointed out to Ya`la, telling him to come. Ya`la came and pushed his head (underneath the screen which was covering the Prophet ) and behold! The Prophet’s face was red and he kept on breathing heavily for a while and then he was relieved. Thereupon he said, “Where is the questioner who asked me about `Umra a while ago?” The man was sought and then was brought before the Prophet who said (to him), “As regards the scent which you perfumed your body with, you must wash it off thrice, and as for your cloak, you must take it off; and then perform in your `Umra all those things which you perform in Hajj.”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا أبو نعيم، حدثنا همام، حدثنا عطاء،. وقال مسدد حدثنا يحيى، عن ابن جريج، قال أخبرني عطاء، قال أخبرني صفوان بن يعلى بن أمية، أن يعلى، كان يقول ليتني أرى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين ينزل عليه الوحى، فلما كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالجعرانة وعليه ثوب قد أظل عليه ومعه ناس من أصحابه إذ جاءه رجل متضمخ بطيب فقال يا رسول الله كيف ترى في رجل أحرم في جبة بعد ما تضمخ بطيب فنظر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ساعة فجاءه الوحى فأشار عمر إلى يعلى أن تعال، فجاء يعلى فأدخل رأسه فإذا هو محمر الوجه يغط كذلك ساعة ثم سري عنه فقال ” أين الذي يسألني عن العمرة آنفا ”. فالتمس الرجل فجيء به إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال ” أما الطيب الذي بك فاغسله ثلاث مرات، وأما الجبة فانزعها ثم اصنع في عمرتك كما تصنع في حجك ”.
