Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah — Hadith #47953

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us, saying: Abu Dawud al-Hafari narrated to us, on the authority of Sufyan, on the authority of al-Jurayri, on the authority of Abu Nadrah, on the authority of a man, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The best perfume for men is that whose scent is apparent but whose color is subtle, and the best perfume for women is that whose color is apparent but whose scent is subtle.” Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us, saying: He informed us… Isma`il ibn Ibrahim, on the authority of al-Jurayri, on the authority of Abu Nadrah, on the authority of al-Tufawi, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, with the same meaning.
