It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her); she said: O my nephew, the way I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) honour his uncle (Sayyiduna Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him) was a truly amazing thing. It was that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) suffered from pain in the side, which became very severe. We used to think that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had pain of the kidney vein, and we did not know that it should be called al-khasirah (pain in the flank). One day he (peace and blessings be upon him) had this pain so severely that he fainted, and we feared for his life, and the people gathered around him in alarm. We supposed that he had dhat al-janb (pleurisy), so we poured medicine into (the side of) his mouth (ladadnahu). Then, when the distress of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) eased and he recovered consciousness, he (peace and blessings be upon him) perceived that medicine had been poured into his mouth, and he found the taste of that medicine. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you suppose that Allah Almighty would inflict this disease (dhat al-janb) upon me? Allah would never inflict it upon me. By the One in whose hand is my soul, let no one who is in this house be left without being given this medicine (as recompense), except my uncle." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then I saw them all being given that same medicine one by one. All the men who were present in the house that day (and Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, would mention their virtue) were made to drink that medicine, until the turn of the wives of the Prophet came, and they too were given that medicine one by one, until the turn came to one woman among us (Abu al-Zinad said: I think she was Sayyidah Maymunah, may Allah be pleased with her, while other people say she was Sayyidah Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her), and she said: By Allah, I am fasting. But we said: By Allah, how wrong you were to think that we would leave you when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had sworn an oath! So we made her drink that medicine too. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
