Sunan Abi Dawud 4048 (Book 34, Hadith 29) #24338
Avoiding Luxurious Clothing and Perfume

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that one should not wear luxurious clothing and that the perfume used by men should have an odour but no colour, while the perfume used by women should have a colour but no odour.

Narrated Imran ibn Husayn: The Prophet ﷺ said: I do not ride on purple, or wear a garment dyed with saffron, or wear shirt hemmed with silk. Pointing to the collar of his shirt al-Hasan (al-Basri) said: The perfume used by men should have an odour but no colour, and the perfume used by women should have a colour but no odour. Sa'id said: I think he said: They interpreted his tradition about perfume used by women as applying when she comes out. But when she is with her husband, she may use any perfume she wishes.
حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ أَرْكَبُ الأُرْجُوَانَ وَلاَ أَلْبَسُ الْمُعَصْفَرَ وَلاَ أَلْبَسُ الْقَمِيصَ الْمُكَفَّفَ بِالْحَرِيرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَوْمَأَ الْحَسَنُ إِلَى جَيْبِ قَمِيصِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ وَطِيبُ الرِّجَالِ رِيحٌ لاَ لَوْنَ لَهُ أَلاَ وَطِيبُ النِّسَاءِ لَوْنٌ لاَ رِيحَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ أُرَاهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا حَمَلُوا قَوْلَهُ فِي طِيبِ النِّسَاءِ عَلَى أَنَّهَا إِذَا خَرَجَتْ فَأَمَّا إِذَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا فَلْتَطَّيَّبْ بِمَا شَاءَتْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Avoid luxurious clothing & using appropriate fragrances according to gender roles & modesty standards .

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us about avoiding luxurious clothing and perfumes. He said that he does not ride on purple or wear a garment dyed with saffron, which are both signs of luxury. He also said that the perfume used by men should have an odour but no colour, while the perfume used by women should have a colour but no odour. This is because when a woman goes out in public she must be modest in her appearance and behaviour. However, when she is with her husband she may use any kind of perfume she wishes as long as it is modest. This hadith teaches us to avoid luxury and to be modest in our dress and behaviour at all times.
