حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا أَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ حَتَّی وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا عَلَی فُؤَادِي فَقَالَ إِنَّکَ رَجُلٌ مَفْئُودٌ ائْتِ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ کَلَدَةَ أَخَا ثَقِيفٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ يَتَطَبَّبُ فَلْيَأْخُذْ سَبْعَ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ عَجْوَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَجَأْهُنَّ بِنَوَاهُنَّ ثُمَّ لِيَلُدَّکَ بِهِنَّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3875
Narrated Saad: I suffered from an illness. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to pay a visit to me. He put his hands between my nipples and I felt its coolness at my heart. He said: You are a man suffering from heart sickness. Go to al-Harith ibn Kaladah, brother of Thaqif. He is a man who gives medical treatment. He should take seven ajwah dates of Madina and grind them with their kernels, and then put them into your mouth.
