Hadith of a man from the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him)

حَدِيثُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ١٧٠١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ، عَنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلِي حَاجَةٌ، فَرَأَى عَلَيَّ خَلُوقًا، فَقَالَ: " اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ " فَغَسَلْتُهُ، ثُمَّ عُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ "، فَذَهَبْتُ فَوَقَعْتُ فِي بِئْرٍ، فَأَخَذْتُ مُسْتَقَةً (١) فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُهُ، ثُمَّ عُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " حَاجَتُكَ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from the mentioned companion, may Allah be pleased with him, that once I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for some of my work. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw that I had applied a perfume called "Khaluq," so he said: Go, wash it off and come back. So I washed it off and presented myself. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, again said: Go, wash it off and come back. So this time I jumped into a well and started scraping it off with a comb. When I presented myself again, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Now tell me your need.
