«حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " لاَ رُقْيَةَ إِلاَّ مِنْ عَيْنٍ أَوْ حُمَةٍ ". قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ بِمِثْلِهِ.»

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.
