Ailment in Mecca
It is stated in one narration that Hazrat Sa‘d (ra) bin Abi Waqas relates, “When I fell ill in Mecca, the Holy Prophet (sa) came to visit me. When he placed his hand on my chest, I felt the coolness of his hand upon my heart. Placing his hand, he said, ‘You have an ailment of the heart. Go to Harith bin Kaladah, brother of Banu Thaqif; he is a physician. Tell him to take seven Ajwa dates from Medina and crush them along with their pits and give it to you to drink as a medicine.”

It is stated in one narration that the Holy Prophet (sa) appointed a specific person in Mecca to tend to Hazrat Sa‘d (ra) and stressed the fact that if Hazrat Sa‘d (ra) passed away in Mecca, he should not be buried there, but instead he should be brought to Medina to be buried.
