English Translation

ʿAffān narrated to us, Yaḥyā ibn Zurārah al-Sahmī narrated to us, he said: my father narrated to me, from my grandfather al-Ḥārith ibn ʿAmr, that he met the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage. I said: 'May my father be your ransom, O Messenger of Allāh, seek forgiveness for me.' He said: 'May Allāh forgive you all.' He said: I pushed closer to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, seek forgiveness for me.' He said: 'May Allāh forgive you all.' He said: I felt him spit on his hands and then wipe them on his face, and I found it to be cooler than ice and with a fragrance finer than musk.
