حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ اللِّحْيَانِيُّ الْعَكَّاوِيُّ، بِمَدِينَةِ عَكَّاءَ سَنَةَ 275 خَمْسٍ وَسَبْعِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَوَرْقَاءُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْيَشْكُرِيُّ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ عَاصِمٍ امْرَأَةُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَتْ:
كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُتْبَةَ أَرْبَعَ نِسْوَةٍ، مَا مِنَّا امْرَأَةٌ إِلَّا وَهِيَ تَجْتَهِدُ فِي الطِّيبِ. لِتَكُونَ أَطْيَبَ مِنْ صَاحِبَتِهَا، وَمَا يَمَسُّ عُتْبَةُ الطِّيبَ إِلَّا يَمَسُّ دُهْنًا يَمْسَحُ بِهِ لِحْيَتَهُ، وَهُوَ أَطْيَبُ رِيحًا مِنَّا، وَكَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ قَالُوا: مَا شَمِمْنَا رِيحًا أَطْيَبَ مِنْ رِيحِ عُتْبَةَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَوْمًا: إِنَّا لَنَجْتَهِدُ فِي الطِّيبِ، وَلَأَنْتَ أَطْيَبُ مِنَّا رِيحًا، فَمِمَّ ذَاكَ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَخَذَنِي الشَّرَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَتَجَرَّدَ، فَتَجَرَّدْتُ، وَقَعَدْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَأَلْقَيْتُ ثَوْبِي عَلَى فَرْجِي، فَنَفَثَ فِي يَدِهِ عَلَى ظَهْرِي وَبَطْنِي، فَعَقَبَ بِي هَذَا الطِّيبُ مِنْ يَوْمِئِذٍ

✧ We were with Utbah, four women—there was not a woman among us but that she strove with perfume, so that she might be more fragrant than her companion. Utbah did not touch perfume, except that he would touch an oil with which he wiped his beard, and he was more fragrant than us. When he went out among the people, they would say: 'We have never smelled a scent more pleasant than the scent of Utbah.' One day I said to him: 'We strive with perfume, yet you are more fragrant than us—so from what is that?' He said: 'The shara took hold of me during the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ, so I came to him and complained of that to him. He commanded me to strip, so I stripped, sat before him, and cast my garment over my private parts. Then he blew into his hand over my back and belly, and this fragrance has clung to me since that day.'
