6. HER ADORNMENT
A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to adorn herself for the Prophet (peace be upon him) so that he could see from her only what he would like. She used to wear dyed garments and seek everything he liked from perfume and ornament. She also used to avoid whatever he did not like. Once, Karimah bint Hammam asked her about the (permissibility of) Henna. She replied, “There is no objection to it but I do not like it because my beloved, Muhammad, did not like its smell.”
She had a good appearance and her clothes were always clean. Ibn Hajar narrated, “It was said that she used to exaggerate in cleaning her garments in which she goes to bed with the Prophet (peace be upon him) Moreover, she was keen on cleaning her teeth with Siwak (tooth stick). Wrwah said, Then we heard A’ishah, the Mother of the Believers, cleaning her teeth with Siwak in her apartment.”
She accompanied the Prophet (peace be upon him) when he performed Hajj, and used to apply perfume to him before Ihram and after concluding it. In this regard, (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated, “I applied perfume to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) with my own hand before he entered upon the state of Ihram, and as he concluded it before circumambulating the House (for Tawafal-lfadah).
In the same context, narrated, ‘”I asked with what perfume the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) at the time of entering upon the state of Ihram.’ She said, ‘With the best of perfume.’
