5722. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idī: When the helmet broke on the head of the Prophet ﷺ and his face became covered with blood and his incisor tooth broke (i.e. during the battle of Uhud), 'Ali used to bring water in his shield while Fāṭima was washing the blood off his face. When Fāṭima رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا saw that the bleeding increased because of the water, she took a mat (of palm leaves), burnt it, and stuck it (the burnt ashes) on the wound of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, whereupon the bleeding stopped.

5722 - حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ القَارِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا كُسِرَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ البَيْضَةُ، وَأُدْمِيَ وَجْهُهُ، وَكُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ، وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَخْتَلِفُ بِالْمَاءِ فِي المِجَنِّ، وَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ تَغْسِلُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ الدَّمَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ الدَّمَ يَزِيدُ عَلَى المَاءِ كَثْرَةً، عَمَدَتِ الى حَصِيرٍ فَأَحْرَقَتْهَا، وَأَلْصَقَتْهَا عَلَى جُرْحِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَقَأَ الدَّمُ»
