Attending the Injuries of the Holy Prophet (sa) during the Battle of Uhud

There is a narration with regard to the injuries sustained by the Holy Prophet (sa) during the battle of Uhud. Hazrat Sahl (ra) bin Saad was asked about the injuries of the Holy Prophet (sa), upon which he said, “If you ask me, then by God, I am fully aware of the person who cleaned the wounds of the Holy Prophet (sa).” That is, he vividly remembered that scene and also the one who was washing his wounds and what ointment was applied.

Hazrat Sahl (ra) said, “Hazrat Fatimah (ra), the daughter of the Holy Prophet (sa), was cleaning the wound and Hazrat Ali (ra) was using his shield to pour water over it. When Hazrat Fatimah (ra) saw that the water caused more blood to flow from the wound, she took a piece of a sack, burnt it and patched the wound, which stopped the bleeding. On that day, the Holy Prophet (sa) lost one of his front teeth, his face was wounded and his helmet broke, which injured his head.”
