Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) once came to our house and had a siesta. While sleeping, there was perspiration upon his body. My mother brought a bottle and kept collecting the sweat in it. This awakened the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) who asked her: "What are you doing, O Umm Sulaym?" She answered: "This is your sweat, we mix it with our perfume, as it is from the best perfumes."
