It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ya’la bin Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When we were young, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pass his hand over our faces at the time of prayer and would supplicate for blessings for us. One day, he came and passed his hand over the faces of the children who were to my right and left, but left me out. The reason was that I had gone to my sister’s house and she had applied yellow color to me. Someone said to me: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left your face because this color is on your face. So I went to a well, descended into it, and bathed. Then I attended the next prayer, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me, passed his hand over my face, supplicated for blessings, and said:“Ya’la has returned with the best religion, and the sky has become brightened by his repentance (meaning the angels of the sky have rejoiced).”

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I performed ghusl (ritual bath) and applied khuluq (a type of perfume). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pass his hand over our faces. When he came near me, he did not let his hand touch the khuluq. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he said: O Ya'la! Why have you applied this khuluq? Have you gotten married? I replied: No, I have not gotten married. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then go and wash it off. So I went to a well, entered it, and scrubbed off the khuluq with clay until its traces disappeared. Then I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me, he said: Ya'la has returned with the best religion, and the sky has become illuminated by his repentance (meaning the angels of the sky have become happy).
