It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hold fast to the disliked yet beneficial thing, that is, 'talbinah' (a broth). By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), it washes your stomach just as water washes dirt from the face." And when anyone of the household of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill, the cooking pot would remain on the fire until the matter was decided: either he (the sick person) died or he recovered. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), for Muslim used Muhammad bin al-Sa'ib as evidence and Bukhari used Ayman bin Nabil al-Makki as evidence; nevertheless, the two of them did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that with the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), there was a child whose nostrils were dripping blood. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came in and asked: "What is the matter with this child?" She said: He has al-'udhrah (a throat ailment). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Woe to you, O company of women! Do not kill your children. Any woman whose child has a throat ailment or a headache should take 'Indian costus'." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) (to treat him), and she did so, and the child recovered. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it; and Imam Bukhari has also recorded a hadith similar to this, in abridged form, through the narration of al-Zuhri from Umm Qays bint Mihsan.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman brought her child to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Shall I treat his al-'udhrah (throat ailment) by pressing his palate? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not burn the throats of your children; rather, take 'Indian costus' and 'wars' and put it into his nose (as su'ut, nasal medicine)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
