Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books All Solutions are with the Prophet’s Progeny Seeking healing by the Prophet’s blessing There is no doubt that the (S) cured patients by his touching, water of wudhu’ , saliva and other things.

Muslim has mentioned in his Sahih and al-Bukhari as well that Sahl ibn Sa’eed (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “ On the Day (battle) of Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah (S) was heard saying – ‘I will give the banner to a man at whose hands Allah will grant victory. He loves Allah and His messenger, and Allah and His messenger love him.’ That night people remained in suspense, wondering to whom among them the Prophet (S) would hand the banner. They all looked forward to it.

Next day he (the Prophet) asked where Ali (a.s.) was, and it was said to him that he had sore eyes. The Prophet (S) spat in Imam Ali’s eyes and he recovered as if he had never suffered any pain. Then the Prophet gave the banner to Ali who said, ‘Should I fight them to be like us (Muslims)?’ He (the Prophet) said, ‘Go on until you arrive in their field, and then invite them for Islam and tell them of their obligations.

By Allah, if Allah guides by you one man, it is better for you than to have red camels (abundant wealth)’ .”[^1] Al-Bukhari has said too, “ I heard as-Sa’ib ibn Yazid saying, ‘Once, my aunt took me to the Prophet (S) and said to him, ‘O Messenger of Allah (S), this son of my sister has fallen.’ He rubbed my head and prayed Allah to bless me.

Then, he performed wudhu’ and I drank from the water of his wudhu’ …’”[^2] He also said, “ I heard Jabir saying, ‘One day, the Messenger of Allah (S) came to visit me when I was ill of insanity. He performed wudhu’ and poured on me from the water of his wudhu’ and I became sane.

I asked him, ‘O Messenger of Allah (S), with whom shall my inheritance be with, for I have neither parents nor children?’ Then, the verse of obligations (inheritances) was revealed.” [^3] Surely, the Messenger of Allah (S) was in such a position to Allah that he made a blind man recover his sight by his saliva and a mad one recover his sanity by the water of his wudhu’ and that his companions massaged their faces and skins with his pituitrin seeking health and soundness.

It has been mentioned in traditions that Huthayfa ibn al-Yaman had a pouch with which he cured patients and that whomever he put the pouch on was cured.
