Dhiyal said: I saw Ḥanẓalah being brought a person whose face was swollen, or an animal with a swollen udder. He would spit on his hands and say: In the name of Allāh, place his hand on the head, and say: on the spot where the hand of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was placed, and he would wipe it.
