English translation
5712. 'Aishah added: We poured medicine in one side of the Prophet's mouth during his illness but he started waving us not to insert the medicine into his mouth. We said, "He dislikes the medicine as a patient usually does." But when he improved and felt a little better he said, "Did I not forbid you to put medicine (by force) in the side of my mouth?" We said, "We thought it was just because a patient usually dislikes medicine." He ﷺ said, "None of those who are in the house but will be forced to pour medicine in the side of his mouth while I am watching, except Al-'Abbās, for he had not witnessed your deed." (See H.4458)
