The first time the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill was in the house of Maymunah. His illness grew severe until he lost consciousness. His wives consulted one another about administering medicine to him by force through the side of his mouth, and they did so.When he regained consciousness, he asked, "What is this?"We said, "This was done by women who came from over there," gesturing toward the land of Abyssinia. Asma bint Umays was among them.They said, "We feared you had pleurisy, Messenger of Allah."He said, "That is a disease Allah would never afflict me with. No one in this house shall remain without having the same medicine forced upon them, except for the uncle of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ," meaning Abbas.The narrator said, Maymunah had it administered to her that day even though she was fasting, because of the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ firm command.
حدثنا عبد الرزاق قال حدثنا معمر عن الزهرى قال أخبرني أبو بكر بن عبد الرحمن بن الحارث بن هشام
أول ما اشتكى رسول الله ﷺ في بيت ميمونة فاشتد مرضه حتى أغمي عليه فتشاور نساؤه في لده فلدوه فلما أفاق قال ما هذا فقلنا هذا فعل نساء جئن من هاهنا وأشار إلى أرض الحبشة وكانت أسماء بنت عميس فيهن قالوا كنا نتهم فيك ذات الجنب يا رسول الله قال إن ذلك لداء ما كان الله عز وجل ليقرفني به لا يبقين في هذا البيت أحد إلا التد إلا عم رسول الله ﷺ يعني العباس قال فلقد التدت ميمونة يومئذ وإنها لصائمة لعزمة رسول الله ﷺ
