Hadith of al-Walid ibn ‘Uqbah ibn Abi Mu‘ayt (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ (١)، ١٦٣٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا فَيَّاضُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بُرْقَانَ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الْكِلَابِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ،، ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ: " لَمَّا فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ جَعَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ يَأْتُونَهُ بِصِبْيَانِهِمْ فَيَمْسَحُ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ وَيَدْعُو لَهُمْ، فَجِيءَ بِي إِلَيْهِ وَإِنِّي مُطَيَّبٌ بِالْخَلُوقِ، فَلَمْ (١) يَمْسَحْ عَلَى رَأْسِي، وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنَّ أُمِّي خَلَّقَتْنِي بِالْخَلُوقِ فَلَمْ يَمَسَّنِي مِنْ أَجْلِ الْخَلُوقِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Walid bin Uqbah that when the Prophet (ﷺ) conquered Makkah, the people of Makkah began bringing their children to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) would place his hand on their heads and pray for them. I too was brought to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). At that time, I had applied a fragrance called khuluq, so the Prophet (ﷺ) did not place his hand on my head. There was no other reason except that my mother had applied khuluq to me.
