عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ أَوَّلُ مَا اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ فَاشْتَدَّ مَرَضُهُ حَتَّى أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَتَشَاوَرَ نِسَاؤُهُ فِي لَدِّهِ فَلَدُّوهُ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ ”مَا هَذَا؟“ فَقُلْنَا هَذَا فِعْلُ نِسَاءٍ جِئْنَ مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ وَكَانَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ فِيهِنَّ قَالُوا كُنَّا نَتَّهِمُ فِيكَ ذَاتَ الْجَنْبِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ”إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَدَاءٌ مَا كَانَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَقْرَفُنِي بِهِ لَا يَبْقَيَنَّ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا الْتَدَّ إِلَّا عَمُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ“ يَعْنِي الْعَبَّاسَ قَالَ فَلَقَدِ الْتَدَّتْ مَيْمُونَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَإِنَّهَا لَصَائِمَةٌ لِعَزْمَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
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.
