Bukhari

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
This incident pertains to the illness of death.
Despite the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbidding it, all the family members forcibly put medicine in his mouth, so in return, he ordered that medicine be put in the mouths of all those present in the gathering.
Since Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) was not present there at that time, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) exempted him from this punishment.

Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) writes:
This hadith indicates that if a woman injures a man, retribution will also be taken from her, because in the gathering of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) there were men and women of all kinds. Thus, in some narrations, it is explicitly stated that medicine was also put in the mouth of Maymunah (radi Allahu anha), even though she was fasting, because she too was present in that gathering and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had given a general command, which included her as well.
(Fath al-Bari: 12/268)

Hadith Commentary:
1.
Putting medicine into the mouth from one side is called ladud; medicine that is poured into the throat is called wujoor, and that which is put into the nose is called sa’oot.
You (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) were suffering from pneumonia.
Umm Salamah (radi Allahu anha) and Asma bint Umais (radi Allahu anha) suggested that Indian costus (qist hindi) be mixed with oil and administered as ladud.
Accordingly, the medicine was given to you in the form of ladud, upon which you said:
“This is a women’s remedy.
Despite my forbidding you, you have done this; now the same will be done to you.” Thus, even Umm al-Mu’minin Maymunah (radi Allahu anha), who was in a state of fasting, was treated in the same way.

2.
It should be noted that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered that medicine be administered as ladud to all the household members in order to teach them proper conduct, so that they would not repeat such an action in the future.
This action was not due to retaliation or vengeance.
(Fath al-Bari: 8/185)

Hadith Commentary:
Although retribution (qisas) is not explicitly established from this hadith, it is nevertheless clear that all those individuals who participated in an act were subjected to retribution or were punished.
In any case, when there is retribution (qisas) for minor matters, then, all the more so, in major matters, if several people are involved, retribution will be taken from all of them. For example:
In cases of murder and theft, all participants will be included in retribution (qisas).
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Laddadna:
We (against your will)
administered medicine to your mouth from one side,
because "ladud"
refers to that medicine
which is given from one side of the mouth.

Benefits and Issues:
It is established from this hadith that
an understandable gesture
is equivalent to an explicit statement.
Since "ladud"
was not suitable for your illness,
therefore you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade it.
But the noble wives thought
that you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), due to being ill, did not wish to take medicine,
so they did not act upon your command. Thus, as a means of discipline and admonition, you had all those present administered the ladud,
so that they would refrain from such action in the future.
This was not out of a sense of retaliation or vengeance,
because your (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) usual practice was forgiveness and forbearance,
not taking revenge.
From this it is understood that
the dislike for ladud was due to specific circumstances and conditions,
therefore, using this as a strong argument for the general dislike of ladud is not weighty.
