Sunan Abu Dawud — 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.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
➊
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.
➋
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.
➌
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.
