Home Hadith Hadith 5493
I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with a a son of mine whose palate and tonsils I had pressed with my
finger as a treatment for a (throat and tonsil) disease. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why do you pain your
children by pressing their throats! Use Ud Al-Hindi (certain Indian incense) for it cures seven
diseases, one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a snuff for treating throat and tonsil disease and it is
inserted into one side of the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 76, Hadith 30
← Previous Hadith
Abu Bakr kissed (the forehead of) the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was dead. `Aisha added: We put medicine in
one side of his mouth but he started waving us not to insert the medicine into his mouth. We said, "He
dislikes the medicine as a patient usually does." But when he came to his senses he said, "Did I not
forbid you to put medicine (by force) in the side of my mouth?" We said, "We thought it was just
because a patient usually dislikes medicine." He said, "None of those who are in the house but will be
forced to take medicine in the side of his mouth while I am watching, except Al-`Abbas, for he had
not witnessed your deed."

(the wife of the Prophet)
When the health of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) deteriorated and his condition became serious, he asked the
permission of all his wives to allow him to be treated In my house, and they allowed him. He came
out, supported by two men and his legs were dragging on the ground between `Abbas and another
man. (The sub-narrator told Ibn `Abbas who said: Do you know who was the other man whom `Aisha
did not mention? The sub-narrator said: No. Ibn `Abbas said: It was `Ali.) `Aisha added: When the
Prophet entered my house and his disease became aggravated, he said, "Pour on me seven water skins
full of water (the tying ribbons of which had not been untied) so that I may give some advice to the
people." So we made him sit in a tub belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) and started pouring
water on him from those water skins till he waved us to stop. Then he went out to the people and led
them in prayer and delivered a speech before them.
