[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Take this black seed, which is called shuuniz, for it contains healing."  

أحمد:٢٢٩٩٩حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدٌ حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي بُرَيْدَةَ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ وَهِيَ الشُّونِيزُ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً
