Hadith 3894

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُرَيْجٍ الرَّازِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : " رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ ضَرْبَةٍ فِي سَاقِ سَلَمَة ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا هَذِهِ ؟ قَالَت : أَصَابَتْنِي يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ : أُصِيبَ سَلَمَةُ فَأُتِيَ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنَفَثَ فِيَّ ثَلَاثَ نَفَثَاتٍ فَمَا اشْتَكَيْتُهَا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ " .
Yazid bin Abi Ubaid said: I saw a sign of injury in the shin of Salamah. I asked: What is this ? He replied: I was afflicted. I was afflicted by it on the day of Khaibar. The people said: Salamah has been afflicted. I was then brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He blew on me three times. I did not feel any pain up till now.

Hadith Commentary:

This is the fourteenth hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari.
Between Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, there are only three narrators.
This means that Salamah ibn al-Akwa‘ radi Allahu anhu lived a very long life.

In this hadith, Imam al-Bukhari’s rahimahullah teacher, Makki ibn Ibrahim, is a Tabi‘ al-Tabi‘i (follower of the followers), and Makki is his name, not a nisbah (attribution) to Makkah.

The difference between (nafath), (nafakh), and (tafal) is that (nafakh) means blowing without saliva, whereas (tafal) contains saliva, and (nafath) is between (nafakh) and (tafal), meaning that it is a blow with a slight amount of saliva.
