on the authority of his father that he had asked `Aisha (about the Hadith of Ibn `Umar). She said,
"May Allah be Merciful to Abu `Abdur-Rahman. I used to put scent on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he used to
go round his wives, and in the morning he assumed the Ihram, and the fragrance of scent was still
coming out from his body."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 5, Hadith 20

I placed water for the bath of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and put a screen. He poured water over his hands, and
washed them once or twice. (The sub-narrator added that he did not remember if she had said thrice or
not). Then he poured water with his right hand over his left one and washed his private parts. He
rubbed his hand over the earth or the wall and washed it. He rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by
putting water in it and blowing it out. He washed his face, forearms and head. He poured water over
his body and then withdrew from that place and washed his feet. I presented him a piece of cloth
(towel) and he pointed with his hand (that he does not want it) and did not take it.

Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and
they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet (ﷺ) the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We
used to say that the Prophet (ﷺ) was given the strength of thirty (men)." And Sa`id said on the authority of
Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).
