It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Dhuwayb Abu Qubaysah Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him with his sacrificial camels and said: "If any of these camels becomes too tired to walk, then slaughter it and dip its shoes in its blood (so that it may serve as a sign for the people), but neither you nor any of your companions should eat its meat." In the narration of Janab Bundar, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent his sacrificial animals with Dhuwayb and added these words: "And strike its bloodied shoes on its side."

Provided that this hadith is authentic. But I think it is not authentic because my heart is not satisfied regarding Abdullah bin Aamir Al-Aslami.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Whoever sends a camel for a voluntary sacrifice and it gets lost on the way, then if he wishes, he may send a substitute for that sacrifice, and if he wishes, he may not send one. But if he was sending the sacrificial animal due to a vow, then he must definitely send a substitute."

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.

Al-Qasim narrates that Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) states: I applied perfume to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) before he entered into Ihram, and also on the Day of Nahr (the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah) before he performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah. This perfume included musk.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "The best and purest fragrance among you is musk." In this, there is a clear proof against those who consider musk to be impure.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: It is as if I am seeing the shine of perfume (musk) in the parting of the blessed hair of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), even though he was in the state of Ihram.
