It is narrated from Hisham bin Urwah that my father (Urwah) told me that Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him: My nephew! I saw a strange thing from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding his respect for his uncle (Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him). He used to have severe pain in his side. We used to say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had kidney pain; we did not call it pain of the side. One day, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) again had such severe pain that he fell unconscious, and we began to fear for his life. Everyone rushed to him in panic. We thought that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had contracted pleurisy, so we poured medicine into one corner of his mouth. After a while, that condition left the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he regained consciousness and realized that medicine had been put in his mouth, and he also felt the effect of the medicine in his mouth, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you think that Allah has afflicted me with this illness? Allah will never afflict me with it. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, everyone in the house, except my uncle Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him), must have this medicine put in their mouth. I saw that the medicine was being put in each person's mouth. On that day, all the people present in the house, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned all their names and their virtues. After all the men had the medicine put in their mouths, it was the turn of the pure wives. The medicine was put in the mouth of each one of them as well. According to the narration of Ibn Abi Lazanad, when it was the turn of Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), and according to other reports, when it was the turn of Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: By Allah, I am fasting today. But we said: You are mistaken if you think we will leave you out; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has sworn to this. Nephew! By Allah, she was fasting, and we poured the medicine into her mouth as well.
