Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَكَى الْإِنْسَانُ الشَّيْءَ مِنْهُ أَوْ كَانَتْ بِهِ قَرْحَةٌ أَوْ جُرْحٌ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ: «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تُرْبَةُ أَرْضِنَا بِرِيقَةِ بَعْضِنَا لِيُشْفَى سَقِيمُنَا بِإِذن رَبنَا»

Translation

Aisha said: When someone complained of a pain in his body, or had a sore or wound, the Prophet would say with his finger: In the name of God. The soil of our land, with the saliva of some of us, so that our sick may be healed by the permission of our Lord.

Translation notes

  • The English witness suggests that soil was placed on the finger and then moistened with saliva; that physical sequence is not explicit in this Arabic block.
