And when he [Utbah] sat amid the people, they would say we have not smelled such perfume which is better than Utbah.

One day we asked him about it, so he said that during the sacred time of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) sores [blisters] appeared on his body.

He complained about this sickness in his honour, the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam), ordered me to take off my clothes [shirt].

I took off my cloth [shirt], and by hiding my face sat infront of him.

The Holy Prophet (SallalLaahu‘AlaiehiWaSallam) placed the sacred saliva from his mouth over his hand and rubbed it on my back and my stomach with his blessed hands.

From that day, this scent is produced in my body and my illness kept disappearing.
