The Prophet ﷺ never refused this thing
The smell emanating from a person plays a significant role in his life, because smells are among the first qualities that an interlocutor or society pays attention to.
It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used incense and spent money on its purchase, despite the fact that from the moment of his birth he was clean. The very body of the Messenger of God ﷺ had the sweetest and most pleasant smell and people even collected drops of his sweat.
And here it should be emphasized that the Prophet ﷺ never rejected incense presented as a gift.
It is reported from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of God ﷺ said, “There are three things that cannot be refused: a pillow, incense, and milk.” (Narrated by Imam At-Tirmidhi).
It is reported from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever is offered incense, let him not refuse it!” (Narrated by Imam Muslim).
Imam al-Bukhari reports a hadith in which Anas said, “The Prophet ﷺ never refused incense.”
It was reported from Hanan (al-Basri) from Abu ‘Uthman an-Nahdi that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “If any of you is offered a fragrant plant, let him not refuse it, for they are from Paradise.” (Narrated by Imam At-Tirmidhi).
The Prophet ﷺ made distinctions in incense for men and women.
“Indeed, the best fragrance for men is that which has a scent and no color. And the best fragrance for women is that which has a colour but no scent.” (Narrated by Imam at-Tirmidhi).
And Allah knows best!
