حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِمَعْمَرٍ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ قَالَتْ
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «بِمَاذَا كُنْتِ تَسْتَمْشِينَ؟» قُلْتُ: بِالشُّبْرُمِ. قَالَ: «حَارٌّ جَارٌّ» ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَى، فَقَالَ: «لَوْ كَانَ شَىْءٌ يَشْفِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ كَانَ السَّنَى، وَالسَّنَى شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: "What were you using to induce purging (as a laxative)?" I said: “Shubrum.” He said: "Hot and harsh." Then I used senna to induce purging, and he said: "If anything could cure death, it would be senna; and senna is a cure for death."
