We poured medicine into the mouth of Messenger of Allah ﷺ during his illness, and he pointed out to us intending to say, "Don't pour medicine into my mouth." We thought that his refusal was out of the aversion a patient usually has for medicine. When he improved and felt a bit better he said (to us.) "Didn't I forbid you to pour medicine into my mouth?" We said, "We thought (you did so) because of the aversion, one usually have for medicine." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is none of you but will be forced to drink medicine, and I will watch you, except Al-ʿAbbas, for he did not witness this act of yours."

عَائِشَةُ لَدَدْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ وَجَعَلَ يُشِيرُ إِلَيْنَا لاَ تَلُدُّونِي قَالَ فَقُلْنَا كَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَرِيضِ بِالدَّوَاءِ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمْ أَنْ تَلُدُّونِي قَالَ قُلْنَا كَرَاهِيَةٌ لِلدَّوَاءِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَبْقَى مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ لُدَّ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلاَّ الْعَبَّاسَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَشْهَدْكُمْ

We poured medicine in one side of the Prophet's mouth during his illness and he started pointing to us, meaning to say, "Don't pour medicine in my mouth." We said, "(He says so) because a patient dislikes medicines." When he improved and felt a little better, he said, "Didn't I forbid you to pour medicine in my mouth ?" We said, " ( We thought it was because of) the dislike, patients have for medicines. He said, "Let everyone present in the house be given medicine by pouring it in his mouth while I am looking at him, except ʿAbbas as he has not witnessed you (doing the same to me).

Abu Bakr kissed (the forehead of) the Prophet ﷺ when he was dead. ʿAisha 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-ʿAbbas, for he had not witnessed your deed."

we (intended to pour) medicine in the mouth of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his illness, but he pointed out (with the gesture of his hand) that it should not be poured into the mouth against his will. We said: (It was perhaps due to the natural) aversion of the patient against medicine. When he recovered, he said: Medicine should be poured into the mouth of every one of you except Ibn 'Abbas, for he was not present amongst you.

[Machine] We stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during his illness, and he began to gesture to us, saying, "Do not let me give birth." So we said, "It is the dislike of a sick person for medicine." But when he regained consciousness, he said, "Did you not prevent me from giving birth?" So we said, "It is the dislike of a sick person for medicine." Then he said, "There is no one left in the house who has not given birth, except for `Abbas, for I have seen him not witness them."
