Chapter: Treatment With Indian Aloeswood, Which Is Costmary

Umm Qais, daughter of Mihsan, the sister of 'Ukasha bin Mihsan said: I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with my son who had not, by that time, been weaned and he pissed over his (clothes). He ordered water to be brought and sprinkled (it) over them.

She (further) said: I visited him (Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) along with my son and I had squeezed the swelling in the uvula, whereupon he said: Why do you afflict your children by compressing like this? Use this Indian aloeswood, for it contains seven types of remedies, one among them being a remedy for pleurisy. It is applied through the nose for a swelling of the uvula and poured into the side of the mouth for pleurisy.

Umm Qais, daughter of Mihsan, was one of the earlier female emigrants who had pledged allegiance to Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ). She was the sister of Ukasha b. Mihsan, one of the posterity of Asad b. Khuzaima. She reported that she came to Allah's messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) along with her son who had not attained the age of weaning and she had compressed the swelling of his uvula. (Yunus said: She compressed the uvula because she was afraid that there might be swelling of uvula.) Thereupon Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said: Why do you afflict your children by compressing in this way? You should use Indian aloeswood, for it has seven remedies in it, one of them being the remedy for pleurisy. Ubaidullah reported that she had told that that was the child who had urinated in the lap of Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ), and Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) called for water and sprinkled it on his urine, but he did not wash it well.
