Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ أُمَّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتَ مِحْصَنٍ إِحْدَى بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ وَكَانَتْ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ الْأُوَلِ اللَّائِي بَايَعْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنٍ لَهَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الطَّعَامَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أُمِّْ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ أَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ بِابْنٍ لَهَا وَقَدْ أَعْلَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ الْعُذْرَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذِهِ الْعُلُقِ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الصَّبِيَّ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَنَضَحَهُ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ مَضَتْ السُّنَّةُ بِذَلِكَ.
English Translation
'Uthman ibn 'Umar narrated to us, he said: Yunus informed us, from al-Zuhri, from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Utbah, that Umm Qays bint Mihsan, one of Banu Asad ibn Khuzaymah, who was among the earliest women emigrants who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him - he said: She informed me that she came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, with a son of hers who had not yet reached the age of eating food, and he mentioned the hadith, and said: Why do you torment your children? He said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, and he said: Ma'mar narrated to us, he said: al-Zuhri narrated to us, from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Utbah ibn Mas'ud, from Umm Qays bint Mihsan, that she came with a son of hers whose palate she had pressed for tonsillitis, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to her: Why do you torment your children by pressing their palates like this? You should use this Indian aloeswood, for it contains seven cures, among them pleurisy. Then he took the boy, and he urinated on him, so he called for water and sprinkled it. Ibn Shihab said: The practice became established accordingly.
