✦ Part 18 - Seerat un Nabee Sal-Allahu Alaihi Wasallam

The Blessed sweat of Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

---------------------------------------

✦ Anas Radi Allahu Anhu said, (His mother) Um Sulaim Radi Allahu Anha used to spread a leather sheet for the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and he used to take a midday nap on that leather sheet at her home. Anas Radi Allahu Anhu added, "When the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had slept, she would take some of his sweat and hair and collect it (the sweat) in a bottle and then mix it with Suk (a kind of perfume) while he Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was still sleeping. "When the death of Anas bin Malik Radi Allahu Anhu approached, he advised that some of that Suk be mixed with his Hanut (perfume for embalming the dead body), and it was mixed with his Hanut. 

Sahih Bukhari, Book #74, Hadith #298 

✦ Anas bin Malik reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) came to the house of Umm Sulaim and slept in her bed while she was away from her house. On the other day too he slept in her bed. She came and it was said to her: It is Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) who is having siesta in your house, sleeping in your bed. She came and found him sweating and his sweat falling on the leather cloth spread on her bed. She opened her scent-bag and began to fill the bottles with it. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) was startled and woke up and said: Umm Sulaim, what are you doing? She said: Allah's Messenger, we seek blessings for our children through it. Thereupon he said: You have done something right.
