Sunan Ibn Majah 3457 (Book 31, Hadith 22) #32811
Healing with Senna and the Sannut

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that senna and the Sannut, which is either dill or honey kept in a skin, can be used to heal any disease except death.

Ibrahim bin Abu 'Ablah said: "I heard Abu Ubayy bin Umm Haram, who had prayed with the Messenger of Allah facing both the Qiblah, saying: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "You should use senna and the Sannut, for in them there is healing for every disease, except the Sam". It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is the Sam?" He said: "Death". (One of the narrators) 'Amr said: "Ibn Abu 'Ablah said: the 'Sannut is dill". Others said: "Rather, it is honey that is kept in a skin (ie, receptacle) used for ghee".*
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ سَرْجٍ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ بَكْرٍ السَّكْسَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُبَىٍّ ابْنَ أُمِّ حَرَامٍ، وَكَانَ، قَدْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّنَى وَالسَّنُّوتِ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلاَّ السَّامَ ‏.‏ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا السَّامُ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْمَوْتُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَمْرٌو قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ السَّنُّوتُ الشِّبِتُّ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ بَلْ هُوَ الْعَسَلُ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي زِقَاقِ السَّمْنِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّاعِرِ هُمُ السَّمْنُ بِالسَّنُّوتِ لاَ أَلْسَ فِيهِمُ وَهُمْ يَمْنَعُونَ جَارَهُمْ أَنْ يُقَرَّدَا
