Have You Ever Noticed a Beautiful Scent from a Deceased Muslim?

I've heard that the smell a person gives off after death reflects their deeds. I've never experienced this myself, but I'm curious if anyone has. There's a hadith that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, his blessed body released a fragrance so amazing that no perfume in this world compares. Have any of you ever smelled something similar with a loved one?

Brother, I've heard stories from my grandmother about my late grandfather. She said when he passed, his body had a scent like musk. It was a sign of his righteousness, Allahu alam.

In my village, we had an old hafiz. When he died, the whole room smelled of oud. The women washing his body were crying from the beauty of it. True blessing.

SubhanAllah, this reminds me of the story of the martyrs. Their wounds smelled like perfume. Hope to be among them one day.

It’s rare, I think. Sign of a good ending. My grandma didn’t have it, but she was a good woman. So maybe it’s not for everyone. Allah knows best.

Not personally, but my friend in Turkey told me his shaykh had this. Body smelled like roses after days. It’s a gift from Allah for the pious.

Man, I hope I get that. Imagine leaving behind a fragrance that reminds people of jannah. Goals for real.
