Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24981 — Medicines that were permitted

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him); he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went in to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), and with her was a child with blood flowing from his nostrils. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this?" The people said: He has a throat ailment. At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why do you women torment your children? It is enough for any one of you to take Indian wood, rub it in water seven times, and then drip it into the child's throat." The narrator says: The people did this with the child, and he recovered.
