The Blessed Perspiration of the Holy Prophet

It is well known that when we perspire it gives out a foul odour and causes discomfort to us and to those around us, but it should be noted that the blessed perspiration of Sayyidul Abraar Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa possessed a sweet smelling fragrance and was unique in every way.

The Muhaditheen have explained the Aqida of Hazrat Umme Sulaim who was the mother of Sahabi-e-Rasool Hazrat Anas . They mention that Huzoor used to go to the house of Hazrat Umme Sulaim (radi Al’laahu anha) to make Qailula (Rest after lunch). Hazrat Umme Sulaim (radi Al’laahu anha) used to lay a bedspread made from skin on the ground for him to rest on. He would rest on the skin spread and would perspire whilst resting.

“She used to collect the blessed perspiration of the Holy Prophet and she used to mix it as perfume. The Prophet asked, ‘O Umme Salim! What is this?’ She said, Ya Rasoolallah ! It is your blessed perspiration. I mix it in my perfume because your blessed perspiration is the best perfume amongst all perfumes.” [Mishkaat Shareef Pg.517 - Ash'atul Lam'aat Pg.488 Vol.4 - Khasaais-ul-Kubra -Sahih Bukhari Shareef Pg.66 Vol.1]

The Mujaddid of the 14th Century, A’la Hazrat Ash Shah Imam Ahmed Raza Khan _ says:

Raaf’e, Naaf’e Daaf’e Shaaf’e

Kya Kya Rahmat Paate ye Hai

Sheikh-ul-Muhaditheen Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Haq Muhadith Delhwi  mentions in his book Mustataab Madaarij Shareef that a certain person wished to send his daughter to her husband’s house (marry her) but he had no perfume so he went into the court of the Holy Prophet and there was nothing present.

The Holy Prophet  asked for a bottle and placed some perfume in it. He then put some of his blessed perspiration into the bottle and said, “Mix some scent with it and ask your daughter to use it as perfume.” Whenever she used the perfume, the people of Madinah used to smell the fragrance and they called her home “The House of the Fragrant Ones” [Madaarijun Nubuiwat Persian Pg.29 Vol.1 -Hujatul’laahi Alal Aalameen Pg.685]

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Proper Sunni Beliefs)
