English narration

Narrated by آمنة بنت محصن الأسدية

Umm Qasis, daughter of Mihsan said: I brought my son to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I had compressed his uvula for its swelling. He said: Why do you afflict your children by squeezing for a swelling in the Uvula ? Apply this Indian aloes wood, for it contain seven types of remedies, among them being a remedy for pleurisy. It is applied through the nose for a swelling of the uvula poured into the side of the mouth for pleurisy. Abu Dawud said: By aloes wood he meant costus.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ ، وَحَامِدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ ، قَالَتْ : "

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنٍ لِي قَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ ، فَقَالَ : عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلَاقِ ، عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ ، مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ ، يُسْعَطُ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ ، وَيُلَدُّ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ

" ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : يَعْنِي بِالْعُودِ الْقُسْطَ .
