Quran

إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَالْفُلْكِ الَّتِي تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِمَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ وَمَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مِن مَّاءٍ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّيَاحِ وَالسَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason."

Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:164

References the directing of winds and pollens dispersed by them, which classical scholars recognized as causative environmental factors in seasonal nasal afflictions.

وَاللَّهُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابًا فَسُقْنَاهُ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَحْيَيْنَا بِهِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ النُّشُورُ

"And it is Allah who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land and give life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Thus is the resurrection."

Surah Fatir · 35:9

Describes winds stirring atmospheric particles, which Ibn Sina identified as carriers of minute irritants causing seasonal nasal inflammations in susceptible temperaments.

Sahih Hadith

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَكَى تَنَفَّسَ فِي الْمَاءِ ثَلاَثًا

"When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was suffering from any ailment, he would breathe into water three times."

Sahih Muslim · 2101SahihNarrator: Anas ibn Malik

This practice of breathing into water was applied by classical physicians for relief of nasal and respiratory distress, including seasonal afflictions causing breathing difficulty.

عَلاَمَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلاَدَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلاَقِ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ يُسْعَطُ مِنَ الْعُذْرَةِ وَيُلَدُّ مِنْ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ

"Why do you torture your children with this pressing of the throat? Use this Indian costus (al-qust al-hindi), for it contains seven types of cures. It is sniffed by one suffering from inflammation of the tonsils, and given by the side of the mouth to one suffering from pleurisy."

Sunan Abi Dawud · 3875HasanNarrator: Umm Qays bint Mihsan

Indian costus administered nasally (as-su'ut) was prophetically prescribed for upper respiratory inflammations, which classical physicians extended to seasonal nasal congestion and irritation.

Classical Medical Sources

Ibn Sīnā · Al-Qānūn fī al-Ṭibb

Ibn Sina, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Book 3, Fann 1, Chapter on Diseases of the Nose (Amrad al-Anf) and subsection on Coryza (Nazlah/Zukam) — He attributes seasonal nasal discharge to descent of excess phlegmatic humors irritated by external air changes, recommends astringent nasal drops, avoiding cold foods, and drying remedies like costus.

Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah · Al-Ṭibb an-Nabawī

Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, At-Tibb an-Nabawi, Chapter on Indian and Marine Costus — He emphasizes costus as prophetic remedy for nasal afflictions caused by wet temperament meeting seasonal irritants, describing its warming and drying properties that counteract phlegmatic nasal discharge.
