" a man said: And what about perfume, O Abū al-ʿAbbās? Ibn ʿAbbās replied: As for me, I saw the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) anoint his head with musk. Is that not perfume?" Then it was recorded (1/369): Yazīd narrated to us, Sufyān informed us with it also as a mawqūf [stopped] narration, saying: "Ibn ʿAbbās was asked about a man when he throws the pebbles, should he use perfume? He replied: As for me..." the ḥadīth. It was also recorded by al-Nasāʾī (2/52) and Ibn Mājah (2/245) through the route of Yaḥyá ibn Saʿīd, and Ibn Mājah also from Wakīʿ, and he and Abū Yaʿlá in "his Musnad" (q 143/1) from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, and al-Bayhaqī (5/133) from Ibn Wahb and (5/204) from Abū Dāwūd al-Ḥafrī, all of them from Sufyān with it similar to the narration of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān with Aḥmad as mawqūf with the addition. Al-Ṭaḥāwī also narrated it (1/419) through the route of Abū ʿĀṣim from Sufyān with it. I said: And this isnād [chain of transmission] consists of narrators all of whom are trustworthy, the narrators of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim], but it is disconnected between al-Ḥasan al-ʿUrnī, who is Ibn ʿAbd Allāh, and Ibn ʿAbbās, for he did not hear from him as Aḥmad said, and Abū Ḥātim said: He did not meet him. Moreover, most of the narrators from Sufyān stopped it at Ibn ʿAbbās, and only Wakīʿ raised it in the first narration, but in his narration combined with ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, it is also mawqūf, as it is with Ibn Mājah. Therefore, the correct view is that the ḥadīth, with its disconnection, is mawqūf. However, it has a supporting narration from the ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhā) who said: "I perfumed the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) with my own hands with dharīrah for the Farewell Pilgrimage, for the state of iḥrām and non-iḥrām, when he entered iḥrām, and when he threw the pebbles at Jamrat al-ʿAqabah on the Day of Sacrifice, before he circumambulated the House." Aḥmad recorded it (6/244) from ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUrwah who heard ʿUrwah and al-Qāsim narrating from ʿĀʾishah with it. I said: And this is a ṣaḥīḥ isnād according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs, and its origin is with them
