The ruling on the word "three" found in some narrations of the hadith: (I have been made to love from your worldly life perfumes and women, and I have made the delight of my eye in prayer).

The Shaykh : Regarding perfumes, the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)—pardon me, the saying of some of the Companions—that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to say... I do not recall it now. The hadith is in Sunan al-Nasa'i like this: The hadith became famous with the wording: So the word "three" has no basis in any of the narrations of this hadith, and it also distorts the meaning. Therefore, this hadith should be recited with the wording: Full stop. A new sentence begins. If it were said: "I have been made to love from your worldly life three things: perfumes, women, and I have made the delight of my eye in prayer", then prayer would be included in the three things of the worldly life, which is not the case. The authentic, established version in Sunan al-Nasa'i and others who narrated this hadith is without the word "three." The hadith should be read as follows: Full stop. And I say, full stop. This is a hadithic point, and it has a translation. Then the speech resumes.
