It has been narrated on the authority of Abd-ul-'Aziz bin Abu Hazim, who learnt from his father (Abu Hazim). The latter heard it from Sahl bin Sa'd who was asked about the injury which the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got on the day of the Battle of Uhud. He said: The face of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was injured, his front teeth were damaged and his helmet was crushed. Fatima, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , was washing the blood (from his head), and 'Ali bin Abu Talib was pouring water on it from a shield. When Fatima saw that the bleeding had increased on account of (pouring) water (on the wound), she took a piece of mat and burnt it until it was reduced to ashes. She put the ashes on the wound and the bleeding stopped.

It has been reported on the authority of Abu Hazim who heard from Sahl bin Sa'd. The latter was asked about the injury of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He said: By God, I know the person who washed the wound of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , who poured water on it and with what the wound was treated. Then Sahl narrated the same tradition as has been narrated by 'Abdul 'Aziz except that he added the words: "And his face was injured" and replaced the word "Hushimat" by "Kusirat" (i. e. it was broken).

The same tradition has been narrated on the authority of Sahl bin Sa'd through a different chain of transmitters with a slight difference in the wording.
