أحمد:١٠٦٢٦حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا مِنَ السَّامِ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ الْمَوْتُ
