Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that he heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Nigella seed is a remedy for every disease except death.

And it was narrated to me by Abu al-Tahir and Harmalah, who said: Ibn Wahb informed us, Younus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

And it was narrated to us by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, and Amr al-Naqid, and Zuhair ibn Harb, and Ibn Abi Umar, who said: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us.

And it was narrated to us by Abd ibn Humaid, who said: Abd al-Razzaq informed us, Ma'mar informed us.

And it was narrated to us by Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Darimi, who said: Abu al-Yaman informed us, Shu'ayb informed us—all of them from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with a narration similar to that of 'Uqayl. And in the narration of Sufyan and Younus: "the black seed," and he did not say "al-shuniz."

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: There is no disease for which Nigella seed does not provide remedy.

'A'isha the wife of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: When there was any bereavement in her family the women gathered there for condolence and they departed except the members of the family and some selected persons. She asked to prepare talbina in a small couldron and it was cooked and then tharid was prepared and it was poured over talbina, then she said: Eat it, for I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Talbina gives comfort to the aggrieved heart and it lessens grief.

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and told him that his brother's bowels were loose. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Give him honey. So he gave him that and then came and said: I gave him honey but it has only made his bowels more loose. He said this three times; and then he came the fourth time, and he (the Holy Prophet) said: Give him honey. He said: I did give him, but it has only made his bowels more loose, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Allah has spoken the truth and your brother's bowels are in the wrong. So he made him drink (honey) and he was recovered.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id Khudri through another chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.

'Amir bin Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas reported on the authority of his father that he asked Usama bin Zaid: What have you heard from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about plague? Thereupon Usama said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Plague is a calamity which was sent to Bani Isra'il or upon those who were before you. So when you hear that it has broken out in a land, don't go to it, and when it has broken out in the land where you are, don't run out of it. In the narration transmitted on the authority of Abu Nadr there is a slight variation of wording.

Usama bin Zaid reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had said: Plague is the sign of a calamity with which Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, affects people from His servants. So when you hear about it, don't enter there (where it has broken out), and when it has broken out in a land and you are there, then don't run away from it.

Usama reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Plague is a calamity which was inflicted on those who were before you, or upon Bani Isra'il. So when it has broken out in a land, don't run out of it, and when it has spread in a land, then don't enter it.

'Amir bin Sa'd reported that a person asked Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas about the plague, whereupon Usama bin Zaid said: I would inform you about it. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: It is a calamity or a disease which Allah sent to a group of Bani Isra'il, or to the people who were before you; so when you hear of it in land, don't enter it and when it has broken out in your land, don't run away from it.
