Anas ibn Malik said (may Allah be well pleased with him):
According to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), there was a man in his presence with a trace of saffron upon him. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) could hardly face someone with something on him that he found disgusting, so when he left, he said to the people: 'If only you would tell him to get rid of this saffron!'"
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَحَمْدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ هُوَ الضَّبِّيُّ، وَالْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ، قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلْمٍ الْعَلَوِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ بِهِ أَثَرُ صُفْرَةٍ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، لا يكَادُ يُواجِهُ أَحَدًا بِشَيْءٍ يَكْرَهُهُ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ، قَالَ لِلْقَوْمِ: لَوْ قُلْتُمْ لَهُ يَدَعُ هَذِهِ الصُّفْرَةَ.
