347 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُمَّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مُحْصَنٍ تَقُولُ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنٍ لِي وَقَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَي مَا تَدْغُرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعَلَاقِ؟ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ يُسَعَّطُ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ، وَيَلَدُّ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ» قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: فَسَّرَ لَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ اثْنَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُفَسِّرْ لَنَا خَمْسَةً قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: الْعُودُ الْهِنْدِيُّ هُوَ الْقُسْطُ
Sayyida Umm Qais bint Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I brought my son to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). I had rubbed his throat because of swelling in his throat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why do you cause pain to your children by rubbing their throats like this? It is obligatory upon you to use Indian aloeswood (oud al-hindi), for it contains seven types of cures. In the case of swelling in the throat, it should be administered through the nose, and in the case of pleurisy, it should be dripped under the tongue." Zuhri says: The narrator named Ubaydullah mentioned two things but did not mention the remaining five (i.e., for which other five diseases is it a cure?).
Imam Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: By 'oud al-hindi' is meant 'qist'.
