Healing Through Prophetic Medicine in Islam
Wounds & Cuts
رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ
Prophet's guidance on treating wounds and cuts
فى "الصحيحين" عن أبى حازم، أنه سمع سَهْلَ بن سعدٍ يسألُ عما دُووىَ به جُرْحُ رسولِ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم أُحُدٍ. فقال:
"جُرِحَ وجهُه، وكُسِرَت رَبَاعيتهُ، وهُشِمَت البَيْضةُ على رأسه، وكانت فاطمةُ بنتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم تغسِلُ الدمَ، وكان علىُّ بن أبى طالب يسكُب عليها بالْمِجَنِّ، فلما رأت فاطمة الدمَ لا يزيد إلا كَثرةً، أخذت قطعةَ حصيرٍ، فأحرقتْها حتى إذا صارت رَماداً ألصقتهُ بالجُرحِ فاستمسك الدمُ
In the Sahihain, it is narrated that Sahl bin
Sad Radi Allaho Anh was asked about how Allah's Messenger injuries in the battle
of Uhud were treated. Sahl said, Prophet’s face was injured, his tooth was
broken and the helmet he was wearing was smashed on his head. Fatimah Radi
Allaho Anha, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (Salallaho Alaihe
Wasallam), was washing the blood off while Ali Radi Allaho Anh was pouring
water on her hands with his shield. When Fatimah realized that the bleeding
could not stop, she took a burned mat (of palm leaves) and inserted the ash in
the wound of Allah's Messenger and the bleeding stopped".
The ashes of burnt palm leaves are very
effective in stopping bleeding, because it is a strong drying agent and because
it has the least burning effect (on the exposed skin). Other strong drying
remedies have a burning effect on the skin and cause the blood to be irritated
and the bleeding to intensify. Further, when the ashes of palm leaves are
applied alone or mixed with vinegar in a bleeding nose, it will stop the
bleeding.
