As the Prophet, praise and veneration be upon him, lay feverishly ill in Lady
Ayesha's apartment, he felt the necessity to confirm Osama's appointment.
He asked his wives to bring seven skins of water, each from a different
well, and for the water to be poured over him.
Lady Hafsa fetched a tub and he sat in it while the water was poured gently
over him to reduce his fever. His wives dressed him and wrapped cloth
around his head, and with two of his companions supporting him, he went
into the Mosque and sat down upon the pulpit then said: "O people,
dispatch Osama with his army. You question his leadership as you
questioned his father's before him, yet he is worthy to take command, just
as his father was." Then, with the help of his companions he was assisted
back to Lady Ayesha's apartment and preparations for the march resumed
and Osama led the army out of Medina, but such was his worry about the
Prophet's condition he ordered his army to strike camp three miles outside
Medina.
