Sahih al-Bukhari 267 (Book 5, Hadith 20) #267
Perfume and Ihram in the Life of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) using perfume and going around his wives before assuming Ihram.

Narrated Muhammad bin Al-Muntathir: on the authority of his father that he had asked 'Aisha (about the Hadith of Ibn 'Umar). She said, "May Allah be Merciful to Abu 'Abdur-Rahman. I used to put scent on Allah's Messenger and he used to go round his wives, and in the morning he assumed the Ihram, and the fragrance of scent was still coming out from his body".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ ذَكَرْتُهُ لِعَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، كُنْتُ أُطَيِّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَيَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ، ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ مُحْرِمًا يَنْضَخُ طِيبًا‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Use perfume ; Maintain balance between spiritual & worldly life ; Follow Sunnah of Prophet ﷺ ; Show mercy & compassion towards others ; Respect spouses .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to us about how even in a state of holiness and purity, such as when assuming iḥrām for Hajj or Umrah, it is permissible to use perfume. This was something that was done by the beloved Prophet ﷺ himself. He would put on scent before going around his wives and then assume iḥrām afterwards. This shows us that we can still be pious while engaging in activities that are not necessarily related to worshiping Allah SWT such as wearing nice clothes or using perfumes. We should strive to maintain a balance between our spiritual life and our worldly life so that we can be successful both here and hereafter.
