سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَصْلِ الطِّيبِ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ فَقَالَ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَقُولُهُ النَّاسُ قُلْتُ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ آدَمَ هَبَطَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِكْلِيلٌ فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ وَ اللَّهِ أَشْغَلَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِكْلِيلٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ حَوَّاءَ امْتَشَطَتْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بِطِيبٍ مِنْ طِيبِ الْجَنَّةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوَاقِعَهَا الْخَطِيئَةُ فَلَمَّا هَبَطَتْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ حَلَّتْ عَقِيصَتَهَا فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيهَا رِيحاً فَهَبَّتْ بِهِ فِي الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَأَصْلُ الطِّيبِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Yahya, from Ali Al Qaseyr, from a man, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked Him<sup>asws</sup> about the origination of the perfume, from which thing is it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Which thing are the people saying?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that Adam<sup>as</sup> descended from the Paradise and upon his<sup>as</sup> head was a crown’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He<sup>as</sup> was too pre-occupied that there would happen to be a crown upon his<sup>as</sup> head’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Hawwa<sup>as</sup> used to comb in the Paradise with a perfume from the perfumes of the Paradise before the occurrence of her<sup>as</sup> error. So when she<sup>as</sup> descended to the earth, she<sup>as</sup> loosened her<sup>as</sup> hair, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the High Sent upon what was therein, a wind, so it descended with it in the east and the west. Thus, the origination of the perfume is from that’.
