Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Umm Jundub narrates that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the Day of Sacrifice, stoning the Jamrat al-Aqabah from the bottom of the valley while he was on his mount. Then he turned, and a woman from the tribe of Khath’am followed behind him. She had a child with her who was afflicted with something, and she said, “O Messenger of Allah! This is my son and my heir, and he has an affliction because of which he does not speak.” The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “Bring me a little water.” Water was brought to him, so he washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, and then gave the water to her, and said, “Make him drink from it and sprinkle it on him, and ask Allah for his cure.” She says, I met a woman and asked her, “If you could give me a little of that water, how would it be?” She replied, “This is for the afflicted one.” Then, after a year, I met the woman and asked her about the boy, and she said, “He has recovered and become so intelligent that ordinary people are not as intelligent as he is.”
