THE MATCHLESS PROPHET

The grandeur of His saliva is such that if He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) put His saliva into a well of salty water, it would become sweet. If His saliva would be applied on a wound, it would be obliterated that very instant. If it was applied to any painful spot, the pain would vanish as if it had never been there. Blessings would be the fate of those who acquired Barakah from His saliva.

On the occasion of the battle of Khaibar, due to some infection of the eye, Hadhrat Ali (May Allah be well pleased with him) had some pain in his eye (conjunctivitis). The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) summoned him and cast His saliva in both of his eyes. Then Hadhrat Ali (May Allah be well pleased with him) was cured in such a manner as if he never had any pain at all. (Sahih Bukhari Vol 2, Pg No: 606)
Hadhrat Ali (May Allah be well pleased with him) says, “From that time, (through the blessings of the Prophet’s saliva) I had never had any infection (pain) of the eye and neither did I have any headache.” (Zurqani ‘al’al mawahib Vol 5, Pg No: 289)

Once the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) asked for a pail of water and after drinking some water, He cast the rest of the water in the well. The narrator (rawi) says or that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) squirted the water into the well. After this the well became as fragrant as musk and it remained like that forever.” (Zurqani ‘al’al mawahib Vol 5, Pg No: 280)

In the same way on the day of Hudaibiyah, the Sahabah (May Allah be well pleased with all of them) entreated to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) that they had ran out of water. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) sat on the edge of the well and said, “Get me a pail of water from this well.” When it was brought Him, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) cast His saliva into it and prayed. He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) ordered that it should be allowed to remain like that for sometime. Then till their departure from Hudaibiyah, the Sahabah drank from that water, and gave it to their animals. (Sahih Bukhari) Vol 2, Pg No. 598.
