The Prophet's guidance on preserving the health with perfume

Good scents and perfumes are nutrition for the soul, and the soul is the dynamo of the rest of the body's powers. Perfume helps the brain, the heart ad the internal organs and brings comfort to the heart and the soul. Perfumes are also the most suitable and favorable remedy and substance for the soul. Also, there is a close connection between the good soul and scented perfumes. This is why perfumes were among the dearest substances in this world to the heart of the most pure of all people, the Prophet (salla-Llaahu 'alayhi wa-sallam)

Al-Bukhari narrated that the Prophet (salla-Llaahu 'alayhi wa-sallam) used to always accept perfume when presented to him. Also, Muslim narrated that the Messenger of Allah (salla-Llaahu 'alayhi wa-sallam) said:

"He who is offered Raihan (basil) should not refuse it, because it is easy to wear and has a good scent."

Further, Abu Dawud and An-Nasai' narrated that the Prophet (salla-Llaahu 'alayhi wa-sallam) said:

"Whoever is offered some perfume should not refuse it because it is light to wear and has a good scent.

Ibn Abi Shaiban also narrated that the Messenger of Allah (salla-Llaahu 'alayhi wa-sallam) had a container that had some perfume and he used to perfume himself with it. The Prophet (salla-Llaahu 'alayhi wa-sallam) also said:

"Allah has a right on every Muslim that he takes a bath (at least once) in every seven days and if he has perfume to wear some of it."

Furthermore, the angels like perfume while the devils dislike it, because the dearest scent to the devils are foul odors, while good souls like good scents. Every soul leans towards and deserves what it likes. Evil men are suitable for evil women and vise versa, while good men are suitable for good women and vise versa. Although this statement applies to men and women in general, it also applies to every type of deed, speech, food, drink, clothing and scent.
