Theriac and poisons (al-tiryaq wal-sumum)

Ibn Sina gives the sixth fann of Book IV of the Canon to poisons, dividing them into those that act by a quality in them and those that act by their form and whole substance, and he sets out signs for recognising them and a rule for treating one who has been given poison. Book V opens its treatise on theriacs with the Faruq theriac, which he calls the most majestic and best of compound drugs, its original formula being Andromachus's. The hadith collections of al-Bukhari and Muslim report the poisoned sheep given to the Prophet when Khaybar was conquered, and a report that begins 'whoever eats seven ajwa dates each morning'.
