Sunan Ibn Majah 3504 (Book 31, Hadith 69) #32858
The Cure of a Fly

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that a fly has both poison and cure on its wings, and if it falls into food, one should dip it in the food as the fly puts the poison first and holds back the cure.

Abu Sa’eed narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "On one of the wings of a fly there is a poison and on the other is the cure. If it falls into the food, then dip it into it, for it puts the poison first and holds back the cure".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فِي أَحَدِ جَنَاحَىِ الذُّبَابِ سُمٌّ وَفِي الآخَرِ شِفَاءٌ فَإِذَا وَقَعَ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَامْقُلُوهُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُقَدِّمُ السُّمَّ وَيُؤَخِّرُ الشِّفَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about how to deal with flies that fall into our food. According to this hadith, we should not throw away our food if a fly falls into it but instead dip it in the food. This is because there is both poison and cure on each wing of a fly, so when we dip it in our food, we are putting the poison first and holding back the cure. This means that by dipping it in our food, we are neutralizing any potential harm from eating contaminated food. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about being resourceful with what Allah has given us - even something as small as a fly can have beneficial properties for us!
