LessonsThe Meeting Condition in Muʿanʿan Hadith: Muslim’s Rejoinder and Route ComparisonQuiz

فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيَّ وَابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ وَوَكِيعًا وَابْنَ نُمَيْرٍ وَجَمَاعَةً غَيْرَهُمْ رَوَوْا عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ أُطَيِّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحِلِّهِ وَلِحُرْمِهِ بِأَطْيَبِ مَا أَجِدُ.
Translation: Among the illustrations, Ayyūb al-Sakhtiyānī, Ibn al-Mubārak, Wakīʿ, Ibn Numayr and others report from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: “I used to perfume the Messenger of Allah with the finest perfume I could find for his lawful state and his iḥrām.”

The shorter route is Hishām → ʿUrwah → ʿĀʾishah; another version inserts ʿUthmān ibn ʿUrwah after Hishām. These are competing transmission paths for the same report.

Juristic point in Nawawī: «لِحِلِّهِ وَلِحُرْمِهِ» concerns being outside and entering the state of iḥrām. On applying perfume before entering iḥrām, al-Shāfiʿī and many jurists recommend it, whereas Mālik and others regard it as disliked. This is a **distinct legal disagreement**, not automatically decided by the number of links in these chains.
