that she took to Messenger of Allah ﷺ one of her sons whose palate and tonsils she had pressed because he had throat trouble.

She compressed the uvula because she was afraid that there might be swelling of uvula.) Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Why do you afflict your children by compressing in this way? You should use Indian aloeswood, for it has seven remedies in it, one of them being the remedy for pleurisy. Ubaidullah reported that she had told that that was the child who had urinated in the lap of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for water and sprinkled it on his urine, but he did not wash it well.

“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.

[Machine] Narrated Umm Qais bint Mihsan al-Asadiyya, the sister of Ukkasha: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ with my son whom I had weaned, fearing that he might have an excuse. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Why do you not rear your children on these?" pointing to his necklace. He meant the Kushth (a type of wood) which has seven knots on it, of which the thickest is in the middle, and he ﷺ took my child and placed him in the middle knot."

[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."

[Machine] That Umm Qais, the daughter of Mihsan, was one of the early Muhajirin who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She informed me that she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with her son who had not reached the age of eating food. She had tied an amulet around him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Why do you burden your children with these amulets? Instead, you should use this Indian qust (a type of aromatic wood) as it has seven healing properties, one of which is the relief of side pain." 'Ubaidullah (the narrator) said, Umm Qais informed me that her son had blisters in the stone of the Prophet's room. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for water and poured it on the boy's urine without washing it.

[Machine] She brought her little son to the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , and he had a urinary problem. The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , asked, "What do you call your children with these attachments?" He meant the Indian wood known as "Qist". He said, "Indeed, it has seven healing properties, including the side pain." Ubaidullah said, "Um Qais informed me that her son was suffering from a stone in the Prophet's room, so the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , prayed for water and poured it on his urine and did not wash it."

[Machine] She came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with her young son who had not reached the age to eat food, and she had tied a strap around his neck, fearing that he might be affected by the evil eye. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why do you adorn your children with these amulets? Tie this Indian incense on yourself, as it has seven healing properties including the protection against the evil eye."
