«وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَقَالَ، أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ احْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ لاَ يَظْلِمُ أَحَدًا أَجْرَهُ.»

Black seed (al-habba al-sawda)

The black seed is the subject of a report in both Sahih collections in which the Prophet says 'in the black seed is a cure for every disease except al-sam', and al-sam is death. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya says it is the shuniz and counts the views that make it mustard or the fruit of the terebinth a mistake; he reads 'every disease' as a general expression meant in a particular sense, every disease that admits it, and holds it beneficial for the cold diseases.
