Sunan Abi Dawud 3877

Translation

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.

  يرويه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه شعيب بن أبي حمزة عن الزهري عن أم قيس مرسلا وخالفه ابن عيينة وابن جريج ومعمر وزياد بن سعد ويونس بن يزيد رووه عن الزهري عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة عن أم قيس وهو أصح وفي حديث معمر عن الزهري عن عبيد الله أن أم قيس أتت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيكون مرسلا والمتصل أصح

  machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrates it, and there is disagreement about it from him. Shuʿayb b. Abī Ḥamzah narrated it from al-Zuhrī from Umm Qays as a mursal report (mursal). Ibn ʿUyaynah, Ibn Jurayj, Maʿmar, Ziyād b. Saʿd and Yūnus b. Yazīd contradicted him; they narrated it from al-Zuhrī from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUtbah from Umm Qays, and this is more sound (aṣaḥḥ). In the report of Maʿmar from al-Zuhrī from ʿUbaydullāh, it says that Umm Qays came to the Prophet ﷺ, so it would be mursal, and the connected (muttaṣil) version is more sound. Report a problem
