[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, my brother's stomach is bloated." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give him honey to drink." So, he gave him honey to drink, but it did not relieve him, it only made his condition worse. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Give him honey to drink in the third or fourth time." So, he gave him honey to drink again and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has spoken the truth and your brother's stomach has lied." Then he gave him honey to drink again and he was cured.
