Chapter 92 | Use of Perfumes in the State of al-’Ihram
10ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْمِلْحِ فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ لِلْمُحْرِمِ قَالَ لا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُحْرِمِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ شَيْئاً فِيهِ زَعْفَرَانٌ وَلا شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ.
10. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya ibn ‘Imran al-Halabiy from Mu‘alla’ abu ‘Uthman from Mu‘alla’ ibn Khunays who has said the following: “He (the Imam) , considered one’s sleeping on a yellow bed or yellow Mirfaqah (comforter), in the state of Ihram detestable.” (It perhaps is because of saffron dye)
