[Machine] She brought her little son to the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , and he had a urinary problem. The Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , asked, "What do you call your children with these attachments?" He meant the Indian wood known as "Qist". He said, "Indeed, it has seven healing properties, including the side pain." Ubaidullah said, "Um Qais informed me that her son was suffering from a stone in the Prophet's room, so the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , prayed for water and poured it on his urine and did not wash it."

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.

[Machine] She came with her son, and she had hung a necklace on him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Why do you hang your children with this necklace?"
