Sunan an-Nasai 5371 (Book 48, Hadith 332) #19903
Collecting the Sweat of the Prophet (SAW)

SUMMARY: The Prophet (SAW) was lying on a leather mat and sweating, Umm Sulaim collected his sweat and put it in a bottle. The Prophet (SAW) saw her and asked what she was doing, to which she replied that she was putting his sweat in her perfume.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that: The Prophet SAW lay down on a leather mat and sweated. Umm Sulaim got up and collected his sweat and put it in a bottle. The Prophet SAW saw her and said: "What are you doing O Umm Sulaim?" She said: "I am putting your sweat in my perfume". And the Prophet SAW smiled.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَزِيرِ أَبُو مُطَرِّفٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى نِطْعٍ فَعَرِقَ فَقَامَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى عَرَقِهِ فَنَشَّفَتْهُ فَجَعَلَتْهُ فِي قَارُورَةٍ فَرَآهَا النَّبِيُّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي تَصْنَعِينَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ أَجْعَلُ عَرَقَكَ فِي طِيبِي فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Umm Sulaim collecting the sweat of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ while he was lying on a leather mat. When he saw her doing this, he asked her what she was doing and she replied that she wanted to put it in her perfume. He smiled at this response, showing his approval for what she did. This hadith teaches us that we should respect our elders and show them love by honoring their belongings even if they are seemingly insignificant things like sweat or hair clippings as these are still part of them. We should also be generous with our possessions as Umm Sulaim showed when giving away some of her perfume to store the Prophet's ﷺ sweat in it.
