Sahih al-Bukhari 6281 (Book 79, Hadith 55) #6034
Welcoming the Prophet ﷺ with Love

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was welcomed into Um Sulaim's home and she would collect his sweat and hair while he was sleeping to mix it with a perfume.

Narrated Thumama: Anas said, "Um Sulaim used to spread a leather sheet for the Prophet and he used to take a midday nap on that leather sheet at her home". Anas added, "When the Prophet had slept, she would take some of his sweat and hair and collect it (the sweat) in a bottle and then mix it with Suk (a kind of perfume) while he was still sleeping".When the death of Anas bin Malik approached, he advised that some of that Suk be mixed with his Hanut (perfume for embalming the dead body), and it was mixed with his Hanut.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، كَانَتْ تَبْسُطُ لِلنَّبِيِّ نِطَعًا فَيَقِيلُ عِنْدَهَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ النِّطَعِ ـ قَالَ ـ فَإِذَا نَامَ النَّبِيُّ أَخَذَتْ مِنْ عَرَقِهِ وَشَعَرِهِ، فَجَمَعَتْهُ فِي قَارُورَةٍ، ثُمَّ جَمَعَتْهُ فِي سُكٍّ ـ قَالَ ـ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْوَفَاةُ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُجْعَلَ فِي حَنُوطِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ السُّكِّ ـ قَالَ ـ فَجُعِلَ فِي حَنُوطِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the love and respect Um Sulaim had for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. She would spread a leather sheet for him to take a nap on in her home. While he was asleep she would collect some of his sweat and hair in a bottle and mix it with Suk which is a type of perfume. When Anas bin Malik passed away he asked that some of this mixture be used as part of his embalming process as well. This shows how much respect people had for the prophet ﷺ even after his passing away. It also teaches us to show love and respect towards our elders no matter what their age or status is in society.
