Narrated Safwan bin Ya'la bin Umaiya (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Ya'la used to say, "I wish I could see Allah's Apostle at the time he is

being inspired Divinely." When the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)

was at Al-Ja'rana and was shaded by a garment hanging over him and some of

his companions were with him, a man perfumed with scent came and said, "O

Allah's Apostle! What is your opinion regarding a man who assumes Ihram and

puts on a cloak after perfuming his body with scent?" The Prophet

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) waited for a while, and then the Divine

Inspiration descended upon him. 'Umar pointed out to Ya'la, telling him to

come. Ya'la came and pushed his head (underneath the screen which was

covering the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)) and behold! The

Prophet's face was red and he kept on breathing heavily for a while and

then he was relieved. Thereupon he said, "Where is the questioner who asked

me about 'Umra a while ago?" The man was sought and then was brought before

the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) who said (to him), "As regards

the scent which you perfumed your body with, you must wash it off thrice,

and as for your cloak, you must take it off; and then perform your 'Umra in

all those things (clothes) in which you perform Hajj."
