When the helmet broke on the head of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his face became covered with blood and his
incisor tooth broke (i.e. during the battle of Uhud), `Ali used to bring water in his shield while Fatima
was washing the blood off his face. When Fatima saw that the bleeding increased because of the
water, she took a mat (of palm leaves), burnt it, and stuck it (the burnt ashes) on the wound of Allah's
Apostle, whereupon the bleeding stopped.
