أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ، فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلاَّ السَّامَ»، وَالسَّامُ الْمَوْتُ.

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَائِشَةَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَالْحَبَّةُ السَّوْدَاءُ هِيَ الشُّونِيزُ
