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)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٥٣٩أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأنا أَسْمَعُ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مُحْصَنٍ قَالَتْ

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

I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with a a son of mine whose palate and tonsils I had pressed with my finger as a treatment for a (throat and tonsil) disease. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why do you pain your children by pressing their throats! Use Ud Al-Hindi (certain Indian incense) for it cures seven diseases, one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a snuff for treating throat and tonsil disease and it is inserted into one side of the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy."

I visited Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with my son who had not, by that time, been weaned and he urinated over his (clothes). He ordered water to be brought and sprinkled (it) over them. She (further) said: I visited him (Allah's Apostle) along with my son and I had squeezed the swelling in the uvula, whereupon he said: Why do you afflict your children by compressing like this? Use this Indian aloeswood, for it contains seven types of remedies, one among them being a remedy for pleurisy. It is applied through the nose for a swelling of the uvula and poured into the side of the mouth for pleurisy.

He said: ‘Why do you poke your children with this pressing?’ You should use this aloeswood, for in it there are seven cures.
