Sahih al-Bukhari 5683 (Book 76, Hadith 6) #5457
Healing Remedies Advised by the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised that cupping, a gulp of honey or cauterization with fire can be used as healing remedies, but he did not prefer to be cauterized with fire.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: I heard the Prophet saying, "If there is any healing in your medicines, then it is in cupping, a gulp of honey or branding with fire (cauterization) that suits the ailment, but I don't like to be (cauterized) branded with fire".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْغَسِيلِ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنْ كَانَ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ أَدْوِيَتِكُمْ ـ أَوْ يَكُونُ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ أَدْوِيَتِكُمْ ـ خَيْرٌ فَفِي شَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ، أَوْ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ، أَوْ لَذْعَةٍ بِنَارٍ تُوَافِقُ الدَّاءَ، وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَكْتَوِيَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Jabir bin 'Abdullah states that the Prophet advised people to use cupping, a gulp of honey or cauterization with fire as healing remedies. Cupping is an ancient practice in which heated cups are placed on the skin to create suction and draw out toxins from the body. A gulp of honey is known for its medicinal properties and can help treat various ailments such as sore throat and digestive issues. Cauterization is a medical procedure in which tissue is burned using heat or electric current in order to stop bleeding or remove unwanted tissue. However, the Prophet did not prefer to be cauterized himself with fire. This hadith teaches us that we should take care of our health and use natural remedies whenever possible instead of relying on modern medicines alone.
