Sayyiduna Ya’la ibn Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say to Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): I wish I could see revelation descending upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was at Ji’ranah and a cloth was providing shade over him, a few companions including Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) were with him. A man came who was wearing a cloak and had applied perfume. He asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion about a person who puts on perfume and then enters into the state of Ihram for Umrah? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at him for a moment and remained silent. Then revelation descended upon him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) signaled to Ya’la ibn Umayyah with his hand to come. Ya’la came and put his head (under the cloth), and saw that the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had turned red and he was snoring. Then the state of revelation ended, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Where is the person who just asked about Umrah? That man was sought and brought, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Wash off the perfume three times and take off the cloak, then do in Umrah what you do in Hajj.
