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
