3464. It was narrated that Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sā'idi said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was wounded on the Day of Uhud. His molar was broken and his helmet was crushed on his head. Fātimah was washing the blood from him and 'Ali was pouring water on him from a shield. When Fātimah realized that the water was only making the bleeding worse, she took a piece of a mat and burnt it, and when it had turned to ashes, she applied it to the wound to stop the bleeding. (Sahih)

Commentary
Molar teeth are the large back teeth located after canine teeth.
In Arabia, such mats were made from palm leaves. Ash, whether it is of palm leaves or jute or cotton clothes, stops the bleeding.
