٣٩۔٢٨ باب التَّدَاوِي بِالْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ وَهُوَ الْكُسْتُ

Indian aloeswood and sprinkling water on an infant’s urine

(1429) bukhari:5692Ṣadaqah b. al-Faḍl > Ibn ʿUyaynah > al-Zuhrī > ʿUbaydullāh > Umm Qays bt. Miḥṣan

[AI] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: "You should use this Indian aloeswood, for in it are seven cures. It is inhaled through the nose for al-udhrah, and administered through the side of the mouth for pleurisy."

I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ with a son of mine who had not yet eaten food, and he urinated on him. He then called for water and sprinkled it over it.

(١٤٢٩) البخاري:٥٦٩٢حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ قَالَتْ

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.
