“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: ‘What do you use as a laxative?’ I said: ‘The Shubrum (spurge – Euphorb).’ He said: (It is) hot and powerful.’ Then I used senna as a laxative and he said: ‘If anything were to cure death, it would be senna. Senna is a cure for death.’”
لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَاذَا كُنْتِ تَسْتَمْشِينَ قُلْتُ بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ حَارٌّ جَارٌّ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَى فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ شَىْءٌ يَشْفِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ كَانَ السَّنَى وَالسَّنَى شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ
"Shubrum" He said: "It is hot and too strong." She said:"Then I used Senna as a laxative." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "If there was anything that would have a cure for death in it, then it would have been Senna."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَأَلَهَا بِمَ تَسْتَمْشِينَ قَالَتْ بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ حَارٌّ جَارٌّ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَوْ أَنَّ شَيْئًا كَانَ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ لَكَانَ فِي السَّنَا
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: ‘What do you use as a laxative?’ I said: ‘The Shubrum (spurge – Euphorb).’ He said: (It is) hot and powerful.’ Then I used senna as a laxative and he said: ‘If anything were to cure death, it would be senna. Senna is a cure for death.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3461)
لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَاذَا كُنْتِ تَسْتمَشْينَ؟ قَالَتْ بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ حَارٌّ جَارٌّ ثُمَّ اسْتَشْفَيْتُ بِالسَّنَا قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ يَشْفِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ كَانَ السَّنَا أَوِ السَّنَا شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ
"Shubrum" He said: "It is hot and too strong." She said:"Then I used Senna as a laxative." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "If there was anything that would have a cure for death in it, then it would have been Senna." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2081)
سَأَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بِمَاذَا تَسْتَمْشِينَ؟» قُلْتُ بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ «حَارٌّ حَارٌّ» قَالَتْ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَاءِ قَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ فِي شَيْءٍ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ لَكَانَ فِي السَّنَاءِ»
"Shubrum" He said: "It is hot and too strong." She said:"Then I used Senna as a laxative." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "If there was anything that would have a cure for death in it, then it would have been Senna." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2081)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَأَلَهَا «بِمَاذَا تَسْتَمْشِينَ؟» قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَسْتَمْشِي بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ «حَارٌّ حَارٌّ» قَالَتْ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أَنَّ شَيْئًا كَانَ فِيهِ الشِّفَاءُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ لَكَانَ السَّنَا»
[Machine] To the messenger of Allah ﷺ, I said: "With what were you walking?" He said: "I was walking with shubrum." I said: "That is hot, very hot." Then I walked with senna (a type of plant). He said: "If there was anything that could cure death, it would be senna."
لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «بِمَاذَا كُنْتِ تَسْتَمْشِينَ؟» قُلْتُ بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ «ذَاكَ حَارٌّ حَارٌّ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَى قَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ يَشْفِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ كَانَ السَّنَى»
[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ asked her, "How do you walk?" She replied, "I used to walk with a shubitum (a type of walking stick)." He said, "It is like a fire, it is like a fire." She replied, "Then I walked with a cane." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If there was a cure for death, it would be senna."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلَهَا «بِمَاذَا تَسْتَمْشِينَ؟» فَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَسْتَمْشِي بِالشُّبْرُمِ فَقَالَ «حَارٌّ حَارٌّ» فَقَالَتْ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ كَانَ فِي شَيْءٍ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ لَكَانَ السَّنَى»
