Make use of senna and sannut
Hadith Number: 7630
حدثنا ابو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، حدثنا بكر بن سهل الدمياطي، حدثنا عمرو بن بكر السكسكي، حدثنا إبراهيم بن ابي عبلة، قال: سمعت ابا ابي ابن ام حرام -وكان قد صلى مع رسول الله ﷺ الصلاتين- يقول: سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول:"عليكم بالسنا والسنوت، فإن فيهما شفاء من كل داء إلا السام (2)" قيل: يا رسول الله، وما السام؟ قال:"الموت" (3). قال إبراهيم بن ابي عبلة: والسنوت: الشبت. قال عمرو بن بكر: وغيره يقول: السنوت: هو العسل الذي يكون في الزق، وهو قول الشاعر: هم السمن بالسنوت لا الس فيهم … وهم يمنعون الجار ان يتقردا (1)
هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ubayy bin Umm Haram (may Allah be pleased with him), who prayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) towards both qiblahs; he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Hold fast to senna and sannut, for in both of them there is healing for every disease except sam." It was asked: O Messenger of Allah, and what is sam? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Death." Ibrahim bin Abi Ablah said: Sannut means shibitt (the herb known as dill). And Amr bin Bakr said that others hold that sannut is the honey that is kept in a waterskin, as the poet said: "They are like ghee with sannut (honey), there is no deceit in them, and they protect their neighbour from being left alone."
This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Important point: In the handwritten manuscripts the word was written "sam" (poison), while the correct word in the text has been established from al-Dhahabi's "Talkhis".
(2) في النسخ الخطية: سام، والمثبت من "تلخيص الذهبي".
Grading: This narration is "hasan li-ghayrihi" (hasan on account of other supporting reports).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Although the narrator Amr bin Bakr al-Saksaki is "matruk" (abandoned), he is not alone in transmitting this report from Ibrahim bin Abi Ablah; rather Shaddad bin Aws al-Ansari corroborated him, as will come, and from the side of Shaddad this chain is "hasan".

(3) حسن لغيره، وعمرو بن بكر السكسكي -وإن كان متروكًا- لم ينفرد بهذا الخبر عن إبراهيم بن أبي عبلة، فقد تابعه عليه شدَّاد بن أوس الأنصاري كما سيأتي، والإسناد من جهته حسن.
Reference / Source: Ibn Majah recorded it (3457) by way of Ibrahim bin Muhammad al-Firyabi, from Amr bin Bakr al-Saksaki, with this same chain.
وأخرجه ابن ماجه (3457) عن إبراهيم بن محمد الفريابي، عن عمرو بن بكر السكسكي، بهذا الإسناد.
Reference / Source: Ibn Qani' recorded it in "Mu'jam al-Sahabah" 2/ 107, Abu Nu'aym in "Ma'rifat al-Sahabah" (4008) and (6690), al-Bayhaqi in "al-Sunan" 9/ 346 and al-Mizzi in "Tahdhib al-Kamal" 21/ 551-552, through various routes from Shaddad bin Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari (who is from the descendants of Shaddad bin Aws), from Ibrahim bin Abi Ablah.
وأخرجه ابن قانع في "معجم الصحابة" 2/ 107، وأبو نعيم في "معرفة الصحابة" (4008) و (6690)، والبيهقي في "السنن" 9/ 346، والمزي في "تهذيب الكمال" 21/ 551 - 552 من طرق عن شداد بن عبد الرحمن الأنصاري من ولد شداد بن أوس، عن إبراهيم بن أبي عبلة، به.
Details of the narration: In the second narration of Abu Nu'aym and in the narration of al-Mizzi, Amr al-Saksaki is also mentioned (as a co-narrator) alongside Shaddad.
وقُرن مع شدادٍ في رواية أبي نعيم الثانية ورواية المزي: عمرو السكسكي.
Grading: This chain is "hasan", because a group narrated from Shaddad, and Ibn Hibban said about him in his book "al-Thiqat" 6/ 441 that he is "mustaqim al-hadith" (sound in hadith).
وهذا إسناد حسن، فشداد روى عنه جمع، وقال عنه ابن حبان في "ثقاته" 6/ 441: مستقيم الحديث.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: On this topic there is also a narration from Anas bin Malik, found with al-Nasa'i (7533), and its chain is "hasan".
وفي الباب عن أنس بن مالك عند النسائي (7533)، وسنده حسن.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: It is also narrated from Umm Salamah, found in al-Tabarani's "al-Kabir" 23/ (952) and Abu Nu'aym's "al-Tibb al-Nabawi" (176).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In its chain is a narrator named "Rukayh bin Abi Ubaydah" from whom only one narrator narrated, so he is "majhul" (unknown), although Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat".
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In its chain is a narrator named "Rukayh bin Abi Ubaydah" from whom only one narrator narrated, so he is "majhul" (unknown), although Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat".
وعن أم سلمة عند الطبراني في "الكبير" 23/ (952)، وأبي نعيم في "الطب النبوي" (176)، وفي سنده ركيح بن أبي عبيدة لم يرو عنه غير واحد، فهو مجهول، وذكره ابن حبان في "ثقاته".
Important point: In the handwritten manuscripts the word "alas" was corrupted to "khayr", and the word "yataqarrada" was changed to "yatajarrada"; we have corrected it from the sources of takhrij and established it.
Note / Clarification: Al-Bayhaqi in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" quoted its explanation from Amr al-Saksaki himself: "la alasa fihim" means there is no deceit among them, and "an yataqarrada" means that their neighbour will not be humiliated or left alone.

(1) قوله: ألس، تحرَّف في النسخ الخطية إلى: خير تحرَّف قوله: يتقردا، إلى: يتجردا، وأثبتناه على الصواب من مصادر التخريج، ونقل البيهقي في "سننه الكبرى" تفسيره عن عمرو السكسكي نفسه فقال: قوله: "لا ألس فيهم" قال: لا غِشَّ فيهم، وقوله: "أن يتقرَّدا" أي: لا يُستدَل جارهم.
Note / Clarification: "Al-shibit" (dill) is a plant whose leaves and seeds are used to flavour food.
والشَّبِت: هو نبات تستعمل أوراقه وبذوره في تنكيه الأطعمة.
