It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever sends an animal for sacrifice as a voluntary act and that animal perishes, then that person should not eat anything from it, because if he eats anything from it, he will be obliged to provide a replacement. He should slaughter that animal, dip its shoe in its blood, and then mark its side. However, if it was an obligatory sacrifice, then if he wishes, he may eat from it."

Abdur Rahman bin Qasim narrates from his father, who says: I heard Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) saying that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) assumed Ihram, I applied perfume to him, and when he ended his Ihram before performing the Tawaf of the House (Ka'bah), I applied perfume to him at that time as well.

Abdur Rahman bin Qasim narrates from his father that Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I applied perfume to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with my own two hands at the time when he intended to enter into Ihram, and also at the time when he opened his Ihram before performing the Tawaf of the House (Ka'bah).

The Imam says: The words of the narration, "when he entered into Ihram," belong to that category about which we say that the Arabs, when they say, "when you did such and such," they mean "when you intended to do such and such." So, the meaning of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) is that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to enter into Ihram, at that time she applied perfume to him. It does not mean that she applied perfume to him after he had already entered into Ihram. The evidence for the correctness of the meaning I have mentioned is the narration which Mansur has reported with his chain, which I have mentioned in this chapter after this. Nevertheless, I have mentioned the narrations regarding this matter in Al-Kitab Al-Kabir.
