The use of ‘Ajwa dates
as medicine for magic and poison
Narrated Sa‘d (Rodiyallah
‘Anhu): The Prophet said, “I heard Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W.) saying, “If
somebody takes seven ‘Ajwa dates in the morning, neither magic nor poison will
hurt him that day.”[1]
Treatment for a person
suffering from diarrhea
Narrated Abu Sa‘id
Al-Khudiri (Rodiyallah ‘Anhu): A man came to the Prophet (S.A.W.) and said, “My
brother has some abdominal trouble.” The Prophet (S.A.W.) said to him “Let him
drink honey.” The man came for the second time and the Prophet (S.A.W.) said to
him, “Let him drink honey.” He came for the third time and the Prophet (S.A.W.)
said, “Let him drink honey.” He returned again and said, “I have done that.”
The Prophet (S.A.W.) then said, “Allah has said the truth, but your brother’s
abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey.” So he made him drink honey and he
was cured.[2]
The use of black cumin
(Nigella seeds)
Narrated Khalid bin
Sa‘d: We went out and Ghalib bin Abjar was accompanying us. He fell ill on the
way and when we arrived at Al-Madina, he was still sick. Ibn Abu ‘Atiq came to
visit him and said to us, “Treat him with black cumin. Take five or seven seeds
and crush them (mix the powder with oil) and drop the resulting mixture into
both nostrils, for ‘Aishah (Rodiyallah Anha) has narrated to me that she heard
the Prophet (S.A.W.) saying, “This black cumin is healing for all diseases
except As-Sam.’ ‘Aishah asked, ‘What is As-Sam?’ He (S.A.W.) said, ‘Death’.”[3]
Al Udhra (throat or
tonsil diseases)
Narrated Umm Qais: I
went to Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W.) along with a son of mine whose palate and
tonsils I had pressed with my fingers as a treatment for a (throat and tonsil)
disease. The Prophet (S.A.W.) said, “Why do you pain your children by pressing
their throats! Use Al-Ud Al-Hindi (certain Indian incense) for it cures seven
diseases, one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a snuff for treating throat
and tonsil disease and it is inserted into one side of the mouth of one
suffering from pleurisy.”[4]
Al-Mann heals eye
diseases
Narrated Sa‘id bin
Zaid: I heard the Prophet (S.A.W.) saying, Al-Kama (truffles) are like Mann
(i.e they grow naturally without man’s care) and their water heals eye
diseases.”[5]
Medicine for stopping
bleeding
Burn a mat made of
palm-tree leaves (and put its ashes into a wound) to stop bleeding.[6]
Islam is a total way of
life that contributes to every sphere of life without leaving any particular
aspect of life untouched.[7]
