The people differed about the type of treatment which had been given to Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. So they asked Sahl bin Saʿd As-Saʿid who was the only surviving Companion (of the Prophet) at Medina. He replied, "Nobody Is left at Medina who knows it better than I. Fatima was washing the blood off his face and ʿAli was bringing water in his shield, and then a mat of datepalm leaves was burnt and (the ash) was inserted into the wound."  

اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ بِأَىِّ شَىْءٍ دُووِيَ جُرْحُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَسَأَلُوا سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ وَكَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ تَغْسِلُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَعَلِيٌّ يَأْتِي بِالْمَاءِ عَلَى تُرْسِهِ فَأُخِذَ حَصِيرٌ فَحُرِّقَ فَحُشِيَ بِهِ جُرْحُهُ
