I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Treat with the Indian incense, for it has healing for seven diseases; it is to be sniffed by one having throat trouble, and to be put into one side of the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy." Once I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a son of mine who would not eat any food, and the boy passed urine on him whereupon he asked for some water and sprinkled it over the place of urine.  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ يُسْتَعَطُ بِهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ وَيُلَدُّ بِهِ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ وَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِابْنٍ لِي لَمْ يَأْكُلِ الطَّعَامَ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَرَشَّ عَلَيْهِ  

I went to Messenger of Allah 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."  

دَخَلْتُ بِابْنٍ لِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ عَلَى مَا تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلاَدَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلاَقِ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ يُسْعَطُ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ وَيُلَدُّ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ فَسَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ يَقُولُ بَيَّنَ لَنَا اثْنَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا خَمْسَةً قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ فَإِنَّ مَعْمَرًا يَقُولُ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لَمْ يَحْفَظْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَنْهُ حَفِظْتُهُ مِنْ فِي الزُّهْرِيِّ وَوَصَفَ سُفْيَانُ الْغُلاَمَ يُحَنَّكُ بِالإِصْبَعِ وَأَدْخَلَ سُفْيَانُ فِي حَنَكِهِ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي رَفْعَ حَنَكِهِ بِإِصْبَعِهِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ أَعْلِقُوا عَنْهُ شَيْئًا  

I visited Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with my son who had not, by that time, been weaned and he urinated over his (clothes). He ordered water to be brought and sprinkled (it) over them. She (further) said: I visited him (Allah's Apostle) along with my son and I had squeezed the swelling in the uvula, whereupon he said: Why do you afflict your children by compressing like this? Use this Indian aloeswood, for it contains seven types of remedies, one among them being a remedy for pleurisy. It is applied through the nose for a swelling of the uvula and poured into the side of the mouth for pleurisy.  

دَخَلْتُ بِابْنٍ لِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَأْكُلِ الطَّعَامَ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَرَشَّهُ قَالَتْ وَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِابْنٍ لِي قَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ عَلاَمَهْ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلاَدَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلاَقِ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ يُسْعَطُ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ وَيُلَدُّ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ  

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.  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِابْنٍ لِي قَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ عَلاَمَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلاَدَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلاَقِ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ يُسْعَطُ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ وَيُلَدُّ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ  

“I brought a son of mine to the Prophet ﷺ, and I had pressed on an area of his throat due to tonsillitis. He said: ‘Why do you poke your children with this pressing?’ You should use this aloeswood, for in it there are seven cures. It should be inhaled for pustules in the throat, and given in the side of the mouth for pleurisy.” (Another chain) from Umm Qais bint Mihsan, from the Prophet ﷺ with similar wording.  

دَخَلْتُ بِابْنٍ لِي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ عَلاَمَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلاَدَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلاَقِ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ يُسْعَطُ بِهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ وَيُلَدُّ بِهِ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ الْمِصْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ يُونُسُ أَعْلَقْتُ يَعْنِي غَمَزْتُ  

[Machine] She came with her son, and she had hung a necklace on him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Why do you hang your children with this necklace?" He then said to her, "You should use this Indian wood, as it has seven healing properties, including the healing of the side. Then, he took the child and blew into his mouth and called for water to clean him. Ibn Shihab said, "This became the practice after that."  

أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ بِابْنٍ لَهَا وَقَدْ أَعْلَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذِهِ الْعُلُقِ؟ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الصَّبِيَّ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَنَضَحَهُ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ مَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ بِذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Um Qais bint Muhsin, who was one of the early female migrants who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and she was the sister of Ukkashah ibn Muhsin. She informed me that she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with her son who had not eaten food and was suffering from constipation. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why do you tie your children with this suspension? Use this Indian oud (a piece of wood) known as the costus, as it has seven healing properties, including the one for constipation."  

أَنَّ أُمَّ قَيْسِ بِنْتَ مِحْصَنٍ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الْأُوَلِ اللَّاتِي بَايَعْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ أُخْتُ عُكَّاشَةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِابْنٍ لَهَا لَمْ يَأْكُلِ الطَّعَامَ وَقَدْ أَعْلَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْإِعْلَاقِ؟ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ يَعْنِي بِهِ الْكُسْتَ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ»  

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3877)   

دَخَلْتُ بِابْنٍ لِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ حَارِثٌ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْعَذِرَةِ فَقَالَ «عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلَاقِ؟ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ يُسْعِطُ مِنَ الْعَذِرَةِ ويَلِدُّ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ الزُّهْرِيُّ يُسْعِطُ مِنَ الْعَذِرَةِ وَيَلُدُّ عَنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ  

[Machine] I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ with my child, and I had hung on him a piece of silk fabric. Ali said, "Why do you burden your children with this fabric when you can burden them with this Indian oud?" For in it there are seven medicinal herbs that can be rubbed with it for healing, and it can be used for childbirth.  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِابْنٍ لِي وَقَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ مَا تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلَاقِ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةُ أَشْفِيَةٍ يُسْعَطُ بِهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ وَيُلَدُّ بِهِ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ
