أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْهَاشِمِيُّ أَنبَأَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَسْلُكْ طَرِيقًا أَوْ لَا يَسْلُكُ طَرِيقًا فَيَتْبَعُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ سَلَكَهُ مِنْ طِيبِ عَرْفِهِ أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ رِيحِ عَرَقِهِ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ never traveled a path—or rather, he would not travel a path—that anyone followed him except that he would know he had traveled it from the pleasantness of his fragrance, or he said, from the scent of his sweat.
