Please provide the reference and grade.

 

Answer

This narration is recorded in several Hadith collections on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Women [His beloved wives] and good fragrance has been made beloved to me. The coolness of my eyes lies in Salah.”

(Sunan Nasai; Al Mujtaba, Hadith: 3939, Musnad Ahmad, vol. 3, pg. 128)

Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic and ‘Allamah Dhahabi (rahimahullah) concurs.

(Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 2, pg. 160)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
