Sunan Ibn Majah 3462

Translation

“I brought a son of mine to the Prophet ﷺ, and I had pressed on an area of his throat due to tonsillitis. He said: ‘Why do you poke your children with this pressing?’ You should use this aloeswood, for in it there are seven cures. It should be inhaled for pustules in the throat, and given in the side of the mouth for pleurisy.” (Another chain) from Umm Qais bint Mihsan, from the Prophet ﷺ with similar wording.

Notes

• حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ الْمِصْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ يُونُسُ أَعْلَقْتُ يَعْنِي غَمَزْتُ

  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
