Sayyidah Umm Qais bint Mihsan Asadiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), the sister of Sayyiduna ‘Ukasha (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: I brought my son who had his throat injured by medicine applied inside it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not injure children’s throats by poking with fingers; rather, use Indian aloeswood (oud al-hindi), for it is a cure for seven diseases, one of which is pneumonia. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took the child, seated him in his lap, and the child urinated on him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for water and sprinkled it. The child had not yet reached the age of eating food. Imam Zuhri says: The established practice is that when a boy urinates, water is sprinkled, and when a girl urinates, it is washed. For throat ailments, drops are put in the nose, and for pneumonia, drops are put in the mouth.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) (and according to one narrator’s report) to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and there was a child with her whose nostrils were bleeding. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What has happened to him? It was said that he has a throat ailment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why do you put your children in distress? It is sufficient that you take Indian aloeswood, soak it in water seven times, and put it in his throat. Ibn Abi Utbah, the narrator, says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to put it in his nose. So they did so, and the child was cured.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described the treatment for the disease of sciatica as follows: Take a black wild ram that is of middle age—not too old and not too young—slaughter it, divide the meat of its hip into three parts, and after melting it, that is, making a broth, drink it for three days.

Sayyiduna Ma’bad bin Sirin narrates from a man of the Ansar, and that Ansari narrates from his father that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed the treatment for the disease of sciatica (irq al-nasa) as follows: An Arabian ram should be taken, which is neither very young nor very old. The meat from its hip should be taken and melted, that is, broth should be made from it, and it should be divided into three parts. Each day, one part should be drunk on an empty stomach.

It was asked from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that with what was the wound of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) treated? He said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to bring water in his shield, and Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to wash the blood from the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and a mat was taken and burnt, and its ashes were used to fill the wound of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I saw the daughter of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), on the day of Uhud, that she took a piece of mat, burned it, and with its ashes filled the blessed wounds on the face of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and water was brought in a shield, with which she first cleaned the blood from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

The daughter of the Companion of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Iyas bin Bukair (may Allah be pleased with him), Maryam, narrates from one of the noble wives of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with her). She says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and said: Is Dhareerah a fragrance? I said: Yes. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) had it brought and applied it to a blister that had appeared between the toes, and recited this supplication: "Allahumma mutfi’ al-kabeer wa mukabbir as-sagheer atfiha ‘anni" (O Allah! Extinguisher of the great and Enlarger of the small, extinguish it from me). So the blister was extinguished right there.

Lady Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: With what do you take a laxative? I said: With the shrub Shabram. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That is hot and a strong purgative. Then I took a laxative with the Sana herb. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding it: If there were anything that could cure death, it would be this Sana makki.

Sayyiduna Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has created a cure for every disease. Make sure to use cow’s milk, for it grazes from every tree.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that if anyone among the household of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had a fever, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would order for "maleedah" (a dish made of bread, ghee, and honey) to be prepared. When it was ready, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would instruct that it be given in sips. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It strengthens the heart of the sorrowful and the stomach, and it removes the distress of the sick person's heart, just as you women wash your faces and remove dirt, in the same way this maleedah cleanses the heart and stomach."
