42. Medicine
٤٢۔ كِتَابُ الطِّبِّ
[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, my brother is complaining of stomach pain." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give him honey to drink." So he gave him honey to drink, but it didn't alleviate his pain. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Allah spoke the truth, but your brother's stomach lied." It is narrated that Muhammad ibn Jafar told us, who told us Shu'bah, who narrated from Qatadah, who narrated from Abu al-Mutawakkil, who narrated from Abu Sa'id, who narrated from the Prophet ﷺ with a similar narration.
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَخِي يَشْتَكِي بَطْنَهُ فَقَالَ «اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا» فَسَقَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا اسْتِطْلَاقًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «صَدَقَ اللهُ وَكَذَبَ بَطْنُ أَخِيكَ» 7518 وَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ فَسَقَاهُ فَبَرِأَ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to love sweet edible things and honey. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5431)
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ»
