Sayyida Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the illness of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began in the house of Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). The illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became so severe that he fell unconscious. The wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) consulted each other and poured medicine into his mouth. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regained consciousness, he asked:“What is this?”We replied:“This is the doing of the women who came from the land of Abyssinia.”Sayyida Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) was among those women. She said:“O Messenger of Allah! We thought you were suffering from pneumonia.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Pneumonia is such a disease that Allah, the Exalted, will never afflict me with it. Now, everyone in the house, except for the uncle of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), should have this medicine poured into their mouths.”The narrator says: In view of the oath of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the medicine was also poured into the mouth of Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), even though she was fasting.
