Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2961b
"عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ دَخَلَ الْحَمَّامَ فَتَدَلَّكَ بَعْدَ النَّوْرَةٍ بِخُبْزِ عصفرٍ مَعْجُونٍ بِخَمْرٍ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ (عمر): (إنه) بَلَغَنِى أَنَّكَ تَدَلَّكْتَ بخَمْرٍ، وَإِنَّ اللَّه قَدْ حَرَّمَ ظَاهِرَ الْخَمْرِ وبَاطِنَهَا، وَحَرَّمَ ظَاهِرَ الإِثْمِ وَبَاطِنَهُ، وَقَدْ حَرَّمَ مَسَّ الْخَمْرِ، إلَّا أَنَّ الْغسلَ (حَرَامٌ) كَمَا حُرِّمَ شُرْبُهَا، فَلَا تُمِسُّوهَا أَجْسَادَكُمْ، فَإِنَّها نَجَسٌ، وَإِنْ فَعَلتُمْ فَلَا تَعُودُوا، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيهِ خَالِدٌ: إِنا (قَدْ) قَتَلنَاهَا فَعَادَتْ غَسُولًا غَيْرَ خَمْرٍ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ: إِنِّى لأَظُنُّ أَنَّ آلَ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَدِ ابْتُلُوا بِالْجَفَاءِ، فَلَا أَمَاتَكُمُ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ، فَانْتَهى لِذَلِكَ".

"On the authority of 'Umar that it reached him that Khalid ibn al-Walid entered the bathhouse and rubbed himself after using depilatory cream with a safflower-colored bread kneaded with wine. So 'Umar wrote to him: It has reached me that you rubbed yourself with wine. Verily Allah has forbidden the outward and inward of wine, and He has forbidden the outward and inward of sin, and He has forbidden touching wine. Except that washing with it is forbidden just as drinking it is forbidden, so do not touch your bodies with it, for it is impure; and if you do, do not return to it. Khalid wrote back to him: We have killed it, and it has returned as a wash, not wine. 'Umar wrote to him: I think that the family of al-Mughirah has been afflicted with coarseness, so may Allah not let you die upon it. So he desisted from that."
