Sahih al-Bukhari 3320 (Book 59, Hadith 126) #3173
The Cure of Houseflies

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught us that if a housefly falls into our drink, we should dip it in and take it out, as one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said "If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink) and take it out, for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease".
حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُتْبَةُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ حُنَيْنٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ إِذَا وَقَعَ الذُّبَابُ فِي شَرَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيَغْمِسْهُ، ثُمَّ لِيَنْزِعْهُ، فَإِنَّ فِي إِحْدَى جَنَاحَيْهِ دَاءً وَالأُخْرَى شِفَاءً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about how to deal with houseflies falling into our drinks. According to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, if a housefly falls into your drink, you should dip it in and take it out again. This is because one of its wings has a disease while the other wing has the cure for that same disease. Therefore, by dipping it in and taking it out again, we can benefit from this natural remedy without having to consume any harmful bacteria or germs from the fly itself. This hadith also teaches us about being mindful of our environment and looking for natural remedies when possible instead of relying on artificial medicines all the time.
