حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ وَحَامِدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ قَالَتْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنٍ لِي قَدْ أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَکُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلَاقِ عَلَيْکُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ يُسْعَطُ مِنْ الْعُذْرَةِ وَيُلَدُّ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد يَعْنِي بِالْعُودِ الْقُسْطَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3877
Umm Qasis, daughter of Mihsan said: I brought my son to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I had compressed his uvula for its swelling. He said: Why do you afflict your children by squeezing for a swelling in the Uvula ? Apply this Indian aloes wood, for it contain seven types of remedies, among them being a remedy for pleurisy. It is applied through the nose for a swelling of the uvula poured into the side of the mouth for pleurisy. Abu Dawud said: By aloes wood he meant costus.
