barak Allahu feekom dear sisters, I wanted to check the progress of this thread for a while, subhan Allah, after I came home from work I was quite tired.
Masha' Allah there is so much information that you two sisters have been kind enough to take the time to research and explain to us, May Allah Bless you and Raise your ranks. Ameen.
masha' Allah those details that you wrote about dear servant of Islam in your first post, were so lovely, I used to remember my teacher telling me that the Prophet, May Allah Raise his rank, used to smell of musk. Insha' Allah one day I would love to go to the Prophet's grave and smell the dust near his grave and to pray in Madinah and to make du'aa there and to remember our beloved Prophet, the best of all creation.
Sister EVE, the hadith that you mentioned which was reported by Imam Bukhari, I wanted to ask whether you knew which were the seven diseases that ^oud heals, insha' Allah.
The information you posted about the ways of extraction was so interesting, it makes the end result even more precious and special as there is a long process to get it from that tree.
Dear sis Servant of Islam, if you manage to go back to the shop and ask for more details, I would love it if you could tell me what the shop keeper said barak Allahu feeki. When I went into the store the shop attendant could see how much I loved ^oud as it was the first perfume I asked about and after we had tried others, he opened the bottle and he gave us a small droplet, I think it may have been worth about the price of 500g of luxury chocolate. The smell is even still on my jacket.. It is so true..the smell stays for so long
Sis Eve, it would be so good if we the Muslim Ummah could raise funds for the search of natural treatments. Al-hamdulillah we have so much information from Islam about which areas we can specialise in. So many ignorant people nowadays keep looking for a cure for ageing..they are wasting time and money. We, as Muslims could focus on research into the medicinal properties of honey and ^oud and the oil from the black seed, as well as other areas.
masha' Allah
take care,
your sis, ndya
