حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ ابْنِ (١) يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُ وُجُوهَنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَيُبَارِكُ عَلَيْنَا. قَالَ: فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَمَسَحَ وُجُوهَ الَّذِينَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ يَسَارِي وَتَرَكَنِي، وَذَلِكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُخْتٍ لِي، فَمَسَحْتُ وَجْهِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ، فَقِيلَ لِي: إِنَّمَا تَرَكَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَا رَأَى بِوَجْهِكَ. فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى بِئْرٍ، فَدَخَلْتُ فِيهَا،، ، فَاغْتَسَلْتُ، ثُمَّ إِنِّي حَضَرْتُ صَلَاةً أُخْرَى، فَمَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمَسَحَ وَجْهِي وَبَرَّكَ عَلَيَّ، وَقَالَ: " عَادَ بِخَيْرِ دِينِهِ الْعَلَاء، تَابَ وَاسْتَهَلَّتِ السَّمَاءُ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) would stand for prayer, before the takbeer he would wipe his hand over the faces of his companions. I had applied a perfume called khuluq, so the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped his hand over the faces of the other companions but left me out. I went back and washed it off, and when I attended the next prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped his hand over my face and said, "You have returned with a good religion." 'Ala (Ya'la) repented, and his voice reached the sky.
