Hadith 229
۞
28-21 Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar (s) - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his father quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Imran al-Ash’ari, on the authority of Mo’awiya ibn Hakim, on the authority of Mo’ammar ibn Khallad, on the authority of Abil Hassan (s)
“It is not proper for a man to smell bad on any day. If it is not possible for him to put perfume on everyday, he should at least do so every other day. Even if he cannot do so, he should try to do it once a week and not abandon this.”
21 - حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى العَطَّار رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَبي، عَن مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْران الأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَن مُعاوِيَةَ بن حكيم، عَن معمر بْنِ خلاد عَنْ أَبي الحَسَن عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ
لا يَنْبَغِي للرجل أَن يدع الطَّيِّبِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يقدر فيوم وَيَوْمَ لا فَإِنْ لَمْ يقدر فَفِي كُلِّ جمعةلا يدع ذلِكَ.
