Benefits
of Black Musk
On
the authority of Abu Saeed رضي الله عنه
that the Messenger (ﷺ) said:
'The BEST of
fragrances/scents is Musk.'
(Muslim)
Imaam
an-Nawawi رحمه الله said in his explanation of this hadeeth: 'It is the BEST of scents and the most preferred! It is pure and permissible to use on the body
and clothing, and also to sell it.' -- (This is a general
consensus on that which was mentioned previously.)
Ibnul
Qayyim رحمه الله stated in 'At-Tib
An-Nabawiyyah':
"Musk is the King of perfumes. It has the BEST Aroma.
Other perfumes are usually compared to Musk, but Musk is NEVER compared to
other perfumes! Also the hills and the sands of paradise are made of musk.”
Musk
is a hot dry substance of the second degree. It brings comfort and joy to the
heart, whilst also strengthening the inner organs when it is drunk or smelt. Musk
brings strength and comfort to the external organs when rubbed with it. Musk is
profitable for old people and those who have excessive skin moisture especially
during winter. It also helps against fainting, shaking and general weaknesses
in the body....
