It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "My brother is suffering from diarrhea." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him honey to drink." He gave him honey to drink and came back saying, "I have given him honey, but the diarrhea has increased because of it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him honey to drink." So he went and again came back saying, "I have given him honey, but the diarrhea has further increased." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him more honey to drink." He went and for the third time came back saying, "I have given him honey, but the diarrhea keeps increasing." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said for the fourth time, "Give him honey to drink." This time, when he gave him honey, he was cured. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah is true and your brother's stomach has lied," (meaning your brother's stomach was not yet ready to accept the cure).
