Did you know that the perfume that the woman poured on Jesus is nothing but Jesus' own "sweat"?
First of all, we say that our goal is not to ridicule the fact that Christ's sweat is better than the perfume itself. We respect, honor and revere Christ, regardless of the truth of this story that I will mention to you shortly, quoted from the Christians, in which they say that the perfume that the woman poured on Jesus is nothing but "Jesus's sweat". We say that we have no rational objection that prevents Christ's sweat from being better than the perfume. May God's prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad and his brother, our master Christ.
But the goal of the topic is to answer some Christian friends who ask some questions like:
How could Umm Sulaym collect the sweat of your Messenger and perfume herself with it, even though sweat is something that people find disgusting???
(((113393 - That the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, lay down on a mat and sweated, so Umm Sulaym went to his sweat and dried it and put it in a bottle. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, saw her and said, “What are you doing, O Umm Sulaym?” She said, “I am putting your sweat in my perfume.” So the Prophet laughed.

How could the companions of your Prophet fight over his ablution water and his phlegm on the day of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah??? Isn’t phlegm something that disgusts a person???
(((( He said: By God, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not spit except that it fell into the hand of one of them, who would rub it on his face and skin. When he ordered them, they would rush to do so. When he performed ablution, they would almost fight over his ablution water. When he spoke, they would lower their voices in his presence, and they would not stare at him out of respect for him. So, Urwah returned to his companions and said: O people, by God, I have visited kings, and I have visited Caesar, Kisra, and the Negus. By God, I have never seen a king who was respected by his companions as much as the companions of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, respect Muhammad. By God, he did not spit except that it fell into the hand of one of them, who would rub it on his face and skin.

And such types of questions
, no matter how much you bring those who were given the Book every proof and argument, they persist in their stubbornness. And they refused to submit to your logic, and although it does not concern us that they should submit to us the validity of our argument, yet out of compassion for these people, and out of concern for their salvation from the fire, we mention to them matters similar to what they object to from their sources, so that we may show them that they are nothing more than stubborn, so that they may break this rock that their skulls contain, and so that their minds may soften to the truth.
Anyway, let us enter into the Christian story, and we say, you all remember the story of the ointment that the woman poured on Jesus, and for those who do not remember, let them read the following from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 26, verses 6-13:
6 And while Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to him with an alabaster box of very expensive ointment, and poured it on his head as he reclined at the table. 8 And when his disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor. 10 But Jesus, knowing it, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. 12 For when she poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 13 Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
Now you might be surprised if you knew that this perfume was none other than the "sweat of Jesus" himself. How is that???
In fact, this matter has a long story, which I will tell you from the book
(The Two Thieves)
by Deacon Faeq Edward Riyad.
Here is the story:
What do you know about Titus (Despair), the thief on the right?
What is the relationship between the thief on the right and the perfume bottle of the sinful woman?
Read this beautiful story... for those who do not know it!!!
Some sources say that the thief on the right is Demas, but the truth that is supported by the sources and that is spoken by ancient icons is that the thief on the right was named Titus (Deas) and his real name as we will know from his story is David....
Come with us to learn about beautiful stories that we knew little about....
Josephus the historian mentioned
that Titus the thief on the right was real name (David) and he was the son of Caiaphas the high priest whose name was Joseph and he was the son-in-law of Annas the high priest and the equal
of Jairus the centurion. Caiaphas the high priest was very wealthy and lived in a great palace furnished with the finest furnishings. He had a wife named Anna and they had only one son whom they named David. A special nanny named Prisca was watching over his upbringing.
Prisca loved a Greek man whose name was Dumachus and he was one of the dangerous thieves and he often visited his beloved Prisca in the palace of her master Caiaphas.
Caiaphas caught him more than once, sometimes begging him, sometimes expelling him, sometimes rebuking him. Finally, when he did not desist, he flogged him severely so that he would not return to the palace again.
Dumachus became angry and decided to take revenge on Caiaphas. He agreed with his beloved Prisca to marry him on the condition that she escape from Caiaphas' house with the child David, who was three years old at the time. Prisca did indeed escape, carrying the child David in her arms.
Caiaphas searched for his only son David, and the servants roamed the streets and alleys searching every corner for the child. But to no avail. Days, months and years passed and Caiaphas did not find his son David. The mother was saddened and pain and grief stricken her, and one always saw her in a state of shock and extreme nervousness. She cried day and night, grieving for her only son whom she had lost.
Prisca lived with Dumachus and had a child named Stephen. He grew up with Titus (David) and they thought they were brothers, as the people around them knew.
Titus grew up and Dumachus trained him to fish until he became a skilled fisherman. At the same time, he accompanied Dumachus in robberies and kept company with the gang. He was strong-willed, clever and intelligent and would outsmart his father.
Titus was full-bodied, brave, strong, handsome, with strong arms and black eyes. As for Stephanus, Dumachus' son, he grew up weak, deformed, ugly and skinny, but they loved each other very much and were certain that they were brothers.
Dumachus was a wicked man who was impulsive in drinking. He once rebelled against his son Stephen and struck him a strong blow on the back that paralyzed him and left him crippled. Prisca was saddened and filled with hatred and malice towards her husband Dumachus, the predatory beast who had caused the disability of her only son.
Titus's Interview with Jesus Christ
It happened once that Dumachus and his gang, along with Titus, were lying in wait on the trade route that connected Egypt and Palestine. When the Holy Family was on their way to Egypt to escape from Herod's pogrom, Dumachus stopped them, and Titus was with him. Titus was able to return the clothes and provisions he had stolen from them. He walked with the Holy Family's caravan to the borders of Egypt and then returned to his gang. We will mention this incident in detail because of its connection to the subject of the crucifixion.
In that desolate area between (Ouja al-Khafir and Pelusium), a group of bandits were lurking. They approached the Holy Family and two thieves approached them to steal what the members of that caravan were carrying, but their hope was dashed when they saw clear signs of poverty, because they were carrying only a little food and some tattered rags. A thief accompanied them, greeting them with respect, offering them help and protection in that dangerous area where bandits are rampant. He walked beside them, talking, feigning chivalry and generosity, and being ready to accompany them to guard them until they crossed safely. This thief's name was Titus.
They felt safe with him for a while, and he kept asking them why they were passing by on this road to Egypt at night. Then the Virgin Mary told him the story of the child's pregnancy and birth, and that they were on their way in execution of a heavenly command.
The thief looked at the child Jesus with reverence and respect, and was dazzled by a luminous aura surrounding his face. He asked his mother to allow him to carry the child in his arms to bless him, but she refused the request and thanked him for his fatigue and begged him to return to his companions. She became more concerned about the child, fearing for him from the thief. The thief kept accompanying them until the Egyptian border. He looked at Jesus and saw sweat pouring from his holy forehead. The thief quickly took out his handkerchief, asking Mary's permission to dry the sweat from his face out of pity for him. After he assured her that his handkerchief was clean, she allowed him to wipe his pure forehead. Here, a beautiful aromatic scent wafted from the handkerchief, which amazed the thief, after he recalled in his imagination what he had heard from Mary about the miracles when she was pregnant with him, when he was born, and when the shepherds and Magi bowed down to him.
He sweated several times as he dried it until the handkerchief was filled with the child’s sweat. He was carrying a small bottle, which he took out and squeezed the drops of sweat from the handkerchief and kept it as a blessing from this child. He asked their permission to return, happy and pleased with the bottle that he had filled with the child’s sweat.
Jesus looked at Mary and said to her, “This thief (Titus) who accompanied us will be crucified on my right and will dwell in paradise for his faith, but the second (Dumachus) will be crucified on my left and will perish.” Mary and Joseph were amazed at these words. The thief kept
the perfume bottle
for many years, and when he ran out of money, he sold it to a perfume merchant for 300 dinars. The merchant kept it in his shop and it was a source of pride and appreciation until a beautiful woman came. She used to play with virtue and love vice yesterday and used to buy perfumes and fragrances from him. But this time she came to him asking him about the most expensive perfumes with dignity and purity. He offered her the bottle, so she bought it for 500 dinars. She quickly poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped them with her hair, and she received the grace of life and the grace of salvation
.
So the alabaster bottle contained nothing but the sweat of Jesus, and this is what is found in the books of the people, and this was confirmed by Anba Lucas in his lecture at the 2001 Confirmation of the Faith Conference, at minutes 61 and 62.
This is an audio clip in the voice of Anba Lucas in which he mentions this story:
