Musa bin Yasar narrates from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman passed by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) while her fragrance was spreading. He said, "O slave-girl of the Almighty, where are you going?" She replied, "I am going to the mosque." He asked, "Have you applied perfume?" She said, "Yes." (Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then go back and take a bath, because I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Allah does not accept the prayer of a woman who goes to the mosque while her fragrance is spreading, until she returns and takes a bath.'"
