Asalaamu alaikum brothers and sisters...
I've recently started listening to lectures I've downloaded from the 'net. One of them is from a well-known shaykh who I've had the privilege to meet & study with back in January (through Al Maghrib they had a class at my Masjid).
He said that there was a woman who put a cotton cloth around the neck of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salaam to absorb his sweat. He said that the woman wrung the sweat out of the cloth and put it in a bottle...it was supposedly "white like a pearl" and the smell was so beautiful that she would put it on her.
Ok sorry but that sounds pretty shirky to me. Our Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salaam was a man. I have read fabricated hadith that say that he spat into a well & made the water sweet, or that say a slave girl drank from the bowl he kept under his bed to relieve himself in during the night and that in doing so she "saved her stomach from the hellfire" (these hadith all capitalize the pronoun "He" instead of "he", the way Christians do talking about Jesus).
If I am wrong here then astagfurallah and will accept the correction but something about wearing the sweat of our Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salaam as perfume crosses a couple lines with me...
Thanks!
