Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that I used to apply the best kind of perfume to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) before he entered the state of Ihram. The narrator said: And our master Urwah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say to us that you should apply perfume before entering the state of Ihram, and likewise, apply perfume before performing the Tawaf al-Ifadah on the day of sacrifice.
