[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."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٥٤٣أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مُحْصَنٍ أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِابْنٍ لَهَا صَغِيرٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الطَّعَامَ وَقَدْ أَعْلَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعَذِرَةِ فَهِيَ تَخَافُ أَنْ تَكُونَ بِهِ الْعَذِرَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «عَلَامَ تَدْغُرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذِهِ الْعَلَائِقِ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ»

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.
