Musnad Ahmad 465 (Book 4, Hadith 59) #34133
The Benefits of Aloes over Kohl

SUMMARY: Applying aloes to the eyes is a better remedy than applying kohl when in ihram.

Nubaih bin Wahb narrated that the eye of 'Umar bin Ubaidullah became inflamed when he was in ihram, and he wanted to apply kohl to it, but Aban bin 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) forbade him to do that and told him to apply aloes to it. He said that 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) narrated from the Messenger of Allah that he had done that.
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنِي نُبَيْهُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ، رَمِدَتْ عَيْنُهُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُكَحِّلَهَا فَنَهَاهُ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُضَمِّدَهَا بِالصَّبِرِ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the benefits of using aloe instead of kohl when one is in ihram. It was narrated by Nubaih bin Wahb that Umar bin Ubaidullah's eye became inflamed while he was in ihram and he wanted to apply kohl to it. However, Aban bin Uthman forbade him from doing so and told him to apply aloe instead. He said that Uthman had narrated from the Prophet Muhammad that he had done this before. This shows us how beneficial aloe can be for our eyes and how it should be used as a remedy instead of kohl when we are in ihram. We can also learn from this hadith that we should always seek advice from those who are knowledgeable about certain matters before taking any action ourselves.
