ʿAlī ibn Abī al-Khaṣīb narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Sufyān, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh: The Messenger of Allah cauterized Saʿd ibn Muʿādh at his al-akḥal vein twice.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The anatomical site أَكْحَلِهِ is retained as the traditional name al-akḥal vein; the report specifies that the cauterization was done twice.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ كَوَى سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ فِي أَكْحَلِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ .
أَكْحَلِهِ is a traditional anatomical site/vein name without a specific modern equivalent established in this text.
Should al-akḥal be transliterated or replaced by a conventional English vessel name?
