The Healing Power of Broth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) would order broth to be prepared for his wives when they were ill, and he said that it would help them feel better by relieving their worries and grief.

Aishah narrated: "Whenever one of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) became (feverishly) ill, he would order that some broth be prepared. Then he would tell them to take some of the broth. And he would say: 'It firms the heart of the grieved, and it rids the worries from the heart of the ill just as one of you removes dirt from her face with water". Another chain reports a similar narration.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قال أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قال حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ بْنِ بَرَكَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا أَخَذَ أَهْلَهُ الْوَعْكُ أَمَرَ بِالْحَسَاءِ فَصُنِعَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ فَحَسَوْا مِنْهُ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّهُ لَيَرْتُو فُؤَادَ الْحَزِينِ وَيَسْرُو عَنْ فُؤَادِ السَّقِيمِ كَمَا تَسْرُو إِحْدَاكُنَّ الْوَسَخَ بِالْمَاءِ عَنْ وَجْهِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عن يونس، عن الزهري بمعناه.
