Musnad Ahmad 11871

Translation

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'My brother has loose bowels.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Give him honey to drink.' So he gave it to him, then he came back and said: 'I gave it to him and it only increased his looseness.' He said that to him three times. Then he came the fourth time and said: 'Give him honey to drink.' The man said: 'I gave it to him and it only increased his looseness.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'God spoke the truth and your brother's belly lied.' So he gave it to him and he was cured.
