Sahih Muslim 2332 (Book 43, Hadith 115) #13140
Preserving the Sweat of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Umm Sulaim collecting the sweat of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and preserving it in a bottle as a perfume.

Umm Sulaim reported that Allah's Apostle visited her house and (took rest) and she spread a piece of cloth for him and he had had a siesta on it. And he sweated profusely and she collected his sweat and put it in a perfume and in bottles. Allah's Apostle said: Umm Sulaim, what is this? She said: It is your sweat, which I put in my perfume. Allah's Apostle sweated in cold weather when revelation descended upon him.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ يَأْتِيهَا فَيَقِيلُ عِنْدَهَا فَتَبْسُطُ لَهُ نَطْعًا فَيَقِيلُ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ كَثِيرَ الْعَرَقِ فَكَانَتْ تَجْمَعُ عَرَقَهُ فَتَجْعَلُهُ فِي الطِّيبِ وَالْقَوَارِيرِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ مَا هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَرَقُكَ أَدُوفُ بِهِ طِيبِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Umm Sulaim who was a companion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She spread out a piece of cloth for him to rest on and he sweated profusely. She collected his sweat and put it in bottles as perfume. When Allah's Apostle asked her what she was doing with his sweat, she replied that she was preserving it as perfume. This shows us how much respect and reverence Muslims have for their beloved prophet. His sweat was so precious to them that they wanted to preserve it like an expensive fragrance or cologne. It also shows us how much love they had for him even after he passed away from this world. Furthermore, this hadith also tells us that revelation descended upon the prophet when he sweated in cold weather which further emphasizes the importance of his sweat and its preservation by Muslims throughout history.
