حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا وَمَعَنَا غَالِبُ بْنُ أَبْجَرَ، فَمَرِضَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَهْوَ مَرِيضٌ، فَعَادَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، فَقَالَ لَنَا: عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحُبَيْبَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ، فَخُذُوا مِنْهَا خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا، فَاسْحَقُوهَا، ثُمَّ اقْطُرُوهَا فِي أَنْفِهِ بِقَطَرَاتِ زَيْتٍ فِي هَذَا الْجَانِبِ وَفِي هَذَا الْجَانِبِ، فَإِنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ:

«إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحَبَّةَ السَّوْدَاءَ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلاَّ مِنَ السَّامِ»

  8. al-Nabī ﷺ

We set out, and Ghalib b. Abjar was with us. He fell ill on the road, and we arrived in Madinah while he was sick. Ibn Abu Atiq visited him and said to us, "Use this black seed. Take five or seven of them, crush them, then drip it into his nose with drops of oil on this side and on this side, for Aishah told me that she heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Indeed, this black seed is a cure for every disease except sam."" I said, "What is al-sam?" He said, "Death."
