Continuation of the benefits of the hadith: (… Aisha said: I applied perfume to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with my hands for his consecrated state, and I applied it to him in Mina before he proceeded)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Good, in the first hadith before this, there is evidence of the excellence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) toward his family, and that he loves everything that serves as a cause of affection between him and his family. Because he distinguished between a woman applying perfume to her husband or him applying it to himself. If she applied it to her husband, there is in that a bringing of affection and endearment between the husband and wife that would not be the case if she kept her distance from him. This is a clear matter, and it indicates that a person should do everything that brings him closer to his wife and brings her closer to him.
As for disdain, arrogance, turning away from the wife, and believing that she is in the position of a servant, this is problematic. It results in hardship and difficulty, and a person does not find pleasure and a good life with his family if he believes of them in this way. Therefore, many problems arise for those who follow this approach with their families. Yes.

The Shaykh : Good, in it is a woman applying perfume to her husband with her hands. What is the benefit of his saying: with her hands? Is it possible to apply perfume without her hands?

The questioner : The stronger position … .

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : That, O Shaykh … .

The Shaykh : Yes, this is a matter of emphasis, like His saying:
or bird that flies with its wings وَلا طائِرٍ يَطيرُ بِجَناحَيهِ
[Al-An'am 6:38]
It is so that it is not thought that she is applying it to him, meaning she orders the servant, or that she hands the perfume to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he applies it to himself, so … she applied it with her hands.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : … pour it directly.

The Shaykh : Yes, or so, yes, you pour it like pouring. Yes.

The questioner : ... .
