Applying the best fragrance available before entering the state of Ihram

Is this narration reliable?

Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) reported: “I applied the best available perfume I could find to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) before he entered upon the state of ihram, then he put on the ihram”

Answer:

Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith in his Sahih. The Hadith is therefore authentic.

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 1189. Also see: Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1539, 1754 and 5928)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
