حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الدِّمْيَاطِيُّ ثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ السَّكْسَكِيُّ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُبَيِّ ابْنِ أُمِّ حِزَامٍ وَكَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
«عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّنَا وَالسَّنُّوتِ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا السَّامُ؟ قَالَ «الْمَوْتُ»

Notes
قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ وَالسَّنُّوتُ الشِّبِتُّ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ بَكْرٍ وَغَيْرُهُ يَقُولُ السَّنُّوتُ هُوَ الْعَسَلُ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي الزِّقِّ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّاعِرِ [البحر الطويل] هُمُ السَّمْنُ بِالسَّنُّوتِ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِمَا وَهُمْ يَمْنَعُونَ الْجَارَ أَنْ يَتَجَرَّدَا « هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» عمرو بن بكر اتهمه ابن حبان
machine translationIbrāhīm b. Abī ʿAblah said: "As-sannūt is dill (shibitt)." ʿAmr b. Bakr and others say: "As-sannūt is the honey that is kept in a skin container." This is the saying of the poet [metre: ṭawīl]: "They are like ghee with sannūt, there is no good in either of them, and they prevent the neighbour from being stripped bare." "This ḥadīth has a sound chain (ṣaḥīḥ al-isnād), but they did not record it." ʿAmr b. Bakr was accused by Ibn Ḥibbān.
