wives to permit him to be nursed (treated) in my house. So they gave him the permission. Then the
Prophet came (to my house) with the support of two men, and his legs were dragging on the ground,
between `Abbas, and another man.” ‘Ubaidullah (the sub narrator) said, “I informed `Abdullah bin
`Abbas of what `Aisha said. Ibn `Abbas said: ‘Do you know who was the other man?’ I replied in the
negative. Ibn `Abbas said, ‘He was `Ali (bin Abi Talib).” `Aisha further said, “When the Prophet (ﷺ) came
to my house and his sickness became aggravated he ordered us to pour seven skins full of water on
him, so that he might give some advice to the people. So he was seated in a Mikhdab (brass tub)
belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet. Then, all of us started pouring water on him from the
water skins till he beckoned to us to stop and that we have done (what he wanted us to do). After that
he went out to the people.”
“ هَرِيقُوا عَلَىَّ مِنْ سَبْعِ قِرَبٍ، لَمْ تُحْلَلْ أَوْكِيَتُهُنَّ، لَعَلِّي أَعْهَدُ إِلَى النَّاسِ ”. وَأُجْلِسَ فِي مِخْضَبٍ لِحَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثُمَّ طَفِقْنَا نَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ تِلْكَ حَتَّى طَفِقَ يُشِيرُ إِلَيْنَا أَنْ قَدْ فَعَلْتُنَّ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ.
