Prophet's guidance on curing Diarrhea

وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ

فى "الصحيحين": من حديث أبى المتوكِّل، عن أبى سعيد الخُدْرِىِّ، "أنَّ رجلاً أتى النبىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: إنَّ أخى يشتكى بطنَه وفى رواية: استطلقَ بطنُهُ فقال: "اسْقِهِ عسلاً"، فذهب ثم رجع، فقال: قد سقيتُه، فلم يُغنِ عنه شيئاً وفى لفْظ: فلَم يزِدْه إلا اسْتِطْلاقاً، مرتين أو ثلاثاً كل ذلك يقولُ له: "اسْقِه عَسَلاً". فقال لهُ فى الثالثةِ أو الرابعةِ: "صَدَقَ اللهُ، وكَذَبَ بَطْنُ أَخِيكَ".

It is narrated in the Sahihain that Abu Said Al Khudri Radi Allaho Anh said :


A man came to Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam & and said, "My brother is complaining about stomach, or he is complaining about diarrhea". Our beloved Prophet said, "Give him some honey". The man went and came back later, saying, I have given him some honey, but it did not help, or he said, "It made his diarrhea worse". He repeated this twice or three times, all the while the Prophet continued saying to him, "Give him some honey". In the third or fourth time, Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said,

صَدَقَ اللهُ، وكَذَبَ بَطْنُ أَخِيكَ

"Allah has said the truth while your brother's stomach has lied."


Honey has tremendous medicinal value, because it washes away the harmful substances that might be collected in the veins and the intestines. Honey dissolves excess moisture, is beneficial as a drink and as an ointment, it is of great value for the elderly, and those suffering from phlegm and cold moods or condition (chills). Honey is nutritious, softens one’s bowel movement and is a good preserving agent. In addition, honey reduces the bitter taste of other medicines, cleanses the liver and the chest, aids in producing urine, and dissolves the phlegm that is accompanied by coughing. When honey is consumed hot and mixed with rose oil, it cures animal bites and the effects of opium. Taking honey mixed with water helps against the bite of a rabid dog and the effects of eating poisonous mushrooms. If fresh meat is kept in honey, it preserves its freshness for three months. Likewise if gourds, cucumbers and eggplants are kept in honey, they too will be preserved.



Furthermore, honey will keep some types of fruit fresh for six months. It preserves dead corpses, thus deserving to be called, "The true preserver". When honey is applied to someone that is infected with lice, it will kill both the lice and the eggs. Honey will add softness and beauty to the hair while allowing it to grow longer. When honey is applied to the eye as Kohl (eyeliner), it will strengthen weak eyesight. Honey whitens the teeth, preserves their health and the health of the gums, and opens the orifice of the veins along with causing the flow of menstruation. Furthermore, licking honey on an empty stomach will help the body get rid of mucus and phlegm. It cleanses the stomach and rids it of harmful substances or mixtures, heats the stomach mildly and opens up the pores. Honey has similar effects on the kidneys, the prostate, urinary bladder and the liver. Furthermore, honey is the least harmful sweet substance for congesting the liver and kidneys.



Adding to all these benefits that we mentioned, honey does not have any side effects, nor harm except for those suffering from bile and who should take it with vinegar to neutralize its harm.



Honey is a food, a drink, a sweet, a remedy, a type of refreshment and an ointment, along with its numerous medicinal values. Therefore, there is no other substance that is more beneficial than honey or that even rivals its value. This is why the people of old relied on honey, for most of the books of old do not mention sugar, as this was discovered in modem times.



Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam used to drink some honey mixed with water on an empty stomach. There is a wonderful secret behind this practice regarding preserving the health. Only those who enjoy sound comprehension will be able to recognize such a secret. We will mention this subject again when we explain the Prophet’s guidance regarding persevering good health.

 A Hadith [narrated by Ibn Majah and others] stated that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said:

علَيْكُم بالشِّفَاءَيْنِ‏:‏ العَسَلِ والقُرآنِ

"Make use of the two cures: Honey and the Quran".



This Hadith joins the material and the divine cures, the medicine of the body and the soul, the earthly medicine and the heavenly cure.



Understanding these facts, let us go back to the man to whom the Prophet had prescribed honey to cure his diarrhea, which was caused by overeating. Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam prescribed honey for him to rid his stomach and intestines from accumulating harmful substances or excretions that prevents the food in the stomach from being digested, because honey has a cleansing effect. The harmful, viscid substances were adhering to the stomach walls, which is similar to the material of a towel, polluting both the stomach and the food. Honey removes these substances that engulf the stomach, and it is the best cure for this condition. Honey is a potent cleanser and is effective in treating cases of diarrhea, especially when the honey is mixed with warm water.



Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam repeated his command to the man, to give some honey to his sick brother for a good reason. The prescribed medicine should be in sufficient doses; otherwise, the ailment will not be filly cured. When the prescribed medicine is in a larger than necessary dose, it will weaken the body and cause side effects. When the Prophet (s) first ordered the man to give his brother honey, he did not give him a sufficient amount to cure his condition. When the man said that his brother was not cured, the Prophet (s) knew that the dose was not sufficient, so he told the man several times to give his brother more honey, so that the dose would reach a sufficient amount, When the sick person has several doses of honey in a sufficient amount to fight the disease, the cure occurs by Allah’s permission. Giving the correct dose of the proper medicine is a major part of the science of medicine.



When Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said to the man:

"Allah has Said the truth and your brother’s stomach has lied".



This indicates the sure effectiveness of the honey. It also explains that the illness remained not because the prescribed medicine was not effective, but because the stomach had a large amount of spoiled substances in it. Therefore, the Prophet (s) ordered the man to take more medicine because his stomach contained excessive amounts of spoiled substances.



Prophetic medicine is not similar to that offered by doctors and physicians. Prophetic medicine is indeed the effective treatment and cure provided by the revelation and the guidance of the Prophet that is coupled with a sound and perfect mind. In comparison, the majority of remedies prescribed by others are built on hypothesis, observation and experimentation.



It is a fact that many people do not benefit from Prophetic medicine, because it will help only those who acknowledge and have faith in it. Thus, they believe that it will help them and they then submit to it. If the Quran, which is a cure for whatever the heart conceals, is not acknowledged and accepted with faith, it will not provide a cure for the heart. In fact, the Quran will only add more evil and disease to the hearts of the hypocrites.



Prophetic medicine is only suitable for good and pure bodies, just as the Quran is only suitable for righteous souls and feeling hearts. Therefore, when the people ignore Prophetic medicine, it is like ignoring the help and guidance of the Quran, which is the most effective medicine. Again, when the medicine (Quran and the Prophetic medicine) do not work, it is due to the negativity in the body and soul that are not suitable for accepting the medicine, not because the medicine does not work. All success comes from Allah.



There is a conflict of opinion concerning what Allah said:

‏يَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ  لِّلنَّاسِ‏‏

There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing for men. (16:69)



The disagreement revolves around the words "wherein is healing for men" if they refer to the drink or the Quran. There are two opinions on this matter, the closest to the truth is what lbn Mas’ud, Ibn Ab’ass, Qatadah Radi Allaho Anhum and the majority of the scholars stated, that these words refer to the drink. The Ayah, (Verse) is talking about the drink and not the Quran. Adding to this fact, Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said in the previous Hadith, “Allah Has Said the truth, as it is clear in determining that the verse is referring to the drink. Allah knows best.

هــندبــا / Hindaba / Kasni (Chicory)

هِنْدَبَا: ورد فيها ثلاثةُ أحاديث لا تصِحُّ عن رسول اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولا يثبُت مثلها، بل هى موضوعة.. أحدها: "كُلُوا الهِندَبَاءَ ولا تَنْفُضُوهُ فإنه ليس يومٌ مِنَ الأيام إلا وقَطَراتٌ من الجَنَّةِ تَقْطُر عليه". الثانى: "مَن أكَلَ الهِندبَاء، ثم نام عليها لم يَحِلَّ فيهِ سَمٌ ولا سِحرٌ". الثالث: "ما مِنْ وَرَقةٍ من وَرَقِ الهِنْدبَاء إلا وعليها قَطْرَةٌ من الجَنَّةِ".

وبعد.. فهى مستحيلة المزاج، منقلبةٌ بانقلاب فصول السنة، فهى فى الشتاء باردة رطبة، وفى الصيف حارة يابسة، وفى الرَّبيعِ والخريفِ معتدِلة، وفى غالب أحوالِها تميلُ إلى البرودة واليُبْس، وهى قابضة مبردةٌ، جيدةٌ للمَعِدَة، وإذا طُبِخَت وأُكلت بِخَلٍّ، عقَلتِ البطن وخاصةٌ البَرىَّ منها، فهى أجود للمَعِدَة، وأشد قبضاً، وتنفع مِن ضعفها. وإذا تُضمِّد بها، سلبت الالتهاب العارض فى المَعِدَة، وتنفع من النقْرس، ومن أورام العَيْن الحارة. وإذا تُضمِّد بَوَرَقِها وأُصولها، نفعت من لسع العقرب.وهى تُقَوِّى المَعِدَة، وتفتح السُّدد العارضة فى الكَبِد، وتنفع مِن أوجاعها حارِّها وباردِها، وتفتح سُدَد الطِّحال والعروق والأحشاء، وتُنَقِّى مجارى الكُلَى.

وأنفعُهَا للكَبِدِ أمرُّها، وماؤها المعتَصَر ينفع من اليَرَقان السدَدى، ولا سِيَّما إذا خُلِط به ماء الرَّازَيَانَج الرطب، وإذا دُقَّ ورقُها، ووُضِع على الأورام الحارة برَّدها وحلَّلها، ويجلو ما فى المَعِدَة، ويُطفئُ حرارة الدَّم والصفراء.

وأصلحُ ما أُكلت غير مغسولة ولا منفوضة، لأنها متى غُسلت أو نُفِضَت، فارقتها قُوَّتُها، وفيها مع ذلك قوة تِرياقية تنفعُ مِن جميع السموم. وإذا اكتُحِلَ بمائها، نفع من العَشَا، ويدخل ورقُها فى الترياق، وينفعُ من لدغ العقرب، ويُقاوِم أكثرَ السموم، وإذا اعتُصِرَ ماؤها، وصُبَّ عليه الزيتُ، خلَّص من الأدوية القتَّالة، وإذا اعتُصِرَ أصلُهَا، وشُرِبَ ماؤه، نفع من لسع الأفاعى، ولسع العقرب، ولسع الزنبور، ولبن أصلها يجلو بياضَ العَيْن.

There are three Hadith mentioning Hindaba but they are weak, we may consider them as a healing, they are as under :


1. "Use Hindaba & do not clean it, because everyday, drops from Jannah (paradise) fall on Hindaba's leaves".

2. "Whoever took Hindaba & then slept, he will not be affected by Sehr (magic) or poison".

3. "Among the leaves of Hindaba, there is not a single leaf on which drops from the paradise do not fall".




Hindaba's temperament changes according to the season. It is cold and wet in winter, hot and dry in summer and mild in spring and autumn. In general, Hindaba is cold and dry. It is beneficial and cools the stomach and causes constipation. When Hindaba, especially wild Hindaha, is cooked and eaten with vinegar, it constipates even more and is more favorable for the stomach and invigorating.


When Hindaba (chicory) is used as a bandage, it will relieve gastric inflammations, gout and hot ocular inflammations (in the eyes). In cases of scorpion stings, Hindaba helps when its leaves and stems are used as a bandage. Hindaba strengthens the stomach and opens the clogs in the kidneys, spleen, veins arid intestines. It clears and purifies the kidneys and helps them against the various hot and cold aches.


Sour Hindaba is the best for liver, while its extract helps against jaundice, especially when mixed with wet fennel extract. When Hindaba leaves are crushed and placed on hot swellings, they will cool and dissipate them. Hindaba cleanses and clears the chest and dissipates the heat of irritated blood and bile.





The best way to eat Hindaba is without washing it so as to preserve its effective ingredients. Hindaba works as an effective antidote against most poisons. When Hindaba extract is used as eyeliner (KOHL), it will clear and cleanse the eyes. Hindaba leaves are used in antidotes against scorpion stings, and against most poisons as we have stated. When Hindaba is squeezed and its water is mixed with oil, it will help against all toxic substances in general. When Hindaba stems are squeezed and their water drunk, it will help against scorpion and hornet stings and against snakebite. Finally, the sap of its stems brightens the white area in the eye.

كــرفـــس / Karafs / Celery

كَرَفْس: روى فى حديث لا يصِحُّ عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، أنه قال: "مَن أكَلَهُ ثم نامَ عليه، نام ونَكْهتُهُ طَيِّبةٌ، وينامُ آمناً من وَجَعِ الأضراسِ والأسنانِ"، وهذا باطل على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولكن البُسْتانىَّ منه يُطيِّب النكهة جدّاً، وإذا عُلِّق أصله فى الرقبة نفع من وجع الأسنان.

وهو حارٌ يابس، وقيل: رطب مفتِّح لسُداد الكَبِد والطِّحال، وورقُه رطباً ينفعُ المَعِدَة والكَبِدَ الباردة، ويُدِرُّ البَوْل والطَّمْث، ويُفتِّت الحصاة، وحَبّه أقوى فى ذلك، ويُهيِّج الباه، وينفعُ مِن البَخَر. قال الرازىُّ: وينبغى أن يُجتنب أكله إذا خِيفَ من لدغ العقارب.

There is a false Hadith related to Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam which says, "Whoever eats Karafs (Celery) & then sleeps, then his breath's smell will remain pleasant & he will be saved from toothache".


But it is a fact that Bustani Karafs (Celery) has a good aroma, it makes the breath pleasant and when it is hung under the neck, it relieves toothache.



Karafs is hot and dry, and it opens the clogs of the liver and spleen. Wet celery leaves helps the stomach and the cold liver, causes urine (it is a diuretic), menstrual flow, and dissolves stones.

Al-Razi said, "One should avoid eating it if he fears he might suffer a scorpion sting".

إذْخِرٌ / Izkher / A kind of Lemon Grass

إذْخِرٌ: ثبت فى "الصحيح"، عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال فى مكةَ: "لا يُختَلَى خَلاَها"، قال له العباس رضى الله عنه: إلا الإذْخِرَ يا رسولَ اللهِ؛ فإنه لِقَيْنِهم ولبيوتِهِم، فقال: "إلا الإذْخِرَ"

والإذْخِرُ حارٌ فى الثانية، يابسٌ فى الأُولى، لطيف مفتح للسُّددِ، وأفواه العروقُ، يُدرُّ البَوْل والطَّمْث، ويُفَتِّتُ الحصى، ويُحلِّل الأورام الصلبة فى المَعِدَة والكَبِد والكُلْيَتين شرباً وضِماداً، وأصلُه يُقوِّى عمودَ الأسنان والمَعِدَة، ويسكن الغَثَيان، ويَعْقِلُ البطن.

In the Sahih Hadith, it is narrated that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said in Makkah about its plants: "Do not cut its plants." Abass Radi Allaho Anh said, “Except for Izkher, O Messenger of Allah for their (the people of Makkah) servants use it and it is used for their house, so our beloved Prophet said: “Except Izkher".


Izkher is hot in the second degree and dry in the first degree. It is a light substance that opens clogs and the veins orifices. It increases urine and menstruation-flow, dissolves the stones and the hard tumors in the stomach, liver and kidneys, either as a drink or as a bandage. The stems of Izkher will strengthen the column of the teeth and the stomach, calm nausea and constipate the stomach.


Izkher is a wild grass that grows in deserts; it is totally managed by Allah & remains un-touched by human's cultivation & irrigation. It is translated as lemon grass in English, but Izkher's fragrant smell & bitter taste is much stronger than the ordinary lemon grass.

You can find dried Izkher with Bedouins; they sell it at Masjid-e-Quba'a & Jabal Uhud.

طــلـــح Tal'h (Banana or Acacia)

طَلْحٌ: قال تعالى: وَطَلْحٍ مَّنضْوُدٍ (الواقعة: 29) قال أكثر المفسِّرين: هو المَوْز. و"المنضودُ": هو الذى قد نُضِّدَ بعضُه على بعض، كالمُشْط. وقيل: "الطلحُ": الشجرُ ذو الشَّوْك، نُضِّدَ مكانَ كل شَوْكة ثمرة، فثمرُه قد نُضِّدَ بعضُه إلى بعض، فهو مثل الموز، وهذا القولُ أصح، ويكون مَن ذكر الموزَ من السَّلَف أراد التمثيل لا التخصيصَ.. والله أعلم.

وهو حارٌ رطب، أجودُه النضيج الحلو، ينفع مِن خشونة الصدر والرئة والسُّعال، وقروح الكُلْيتَيْن، والمثانة، ويُدِرُّ البَوْل، ويزيد فى المَنِىِّ، ويُحَرِّكُ الشهوة للجِماع، ويُليِّن البطن، ويُؤكل قبل الطعام، ويَضر المَعِدَة، ويزيد فى الصفراء والبلغم، ودفعُ ضرره بالسكر أو العسل

Allah The Glorified Said:


"And there (in paradise) will be Tal'h (Banana trees) with fruits piled one above another". 

(Waq'eah:29)

The majority of scholars said that Tal'h means bananas, as they grow in clusters / piles one over the other just as the comb’s teeth. It was said that Tal'h is the tree that has thorns and which get replaced by fruits, each in the place of a thorn, just like what occurs on banana trees. This is the best opinion about the meaning of Tal'h. Hence, the Salaf (righteous predecessors) who said that Tal'h means banana trees are just using it as an example to explain the meaning of the word Tal'h, not that it only means banana trees (any tree that grows fruits in clusters can be called Tal'h). Allah Has the best knowledge.


Bananas are hot and wet. The best type of banana is ripe and sweet.


Bananas help against the roughness of the chest and lungs, relieve coughing and help against the ulcers of kidney, urinary bladder and prostate. Bananas produce urine (diuretic), stimulate semen production, soften the stomach and arouse the sexual drive; and they should be eaten before meals. Bananas may harm the stomach slightly and aggravate the bile and phlegm.


Eating Bananas with honey reduces their harmful side effects.

TEEN (Figs)

Benefits of FIGS as explained by Ibn Al Qayyam; Figs (along with vinegar) are one of the best cures for SPLEEN diseases:

تـين : لما لم يكن التين بأرض الحجاز والمدينة، لم يأت له ذكر في السنة، فإن أرضه تنافي أرض النخل، ولكن قد أقسم الله به في كتابه، لكثرة منافعه وفوائده، والصحيح‏:‏ أن المقسم به‏:‏ هو التين المعروف‏.‏ وهو حار، وفي رطوبته ويبوسته قولان، وأجوده‏:‏ الأبيض الناضج القشر، يجلو رمل الكلى والمثانة، ويؤمن من السموم، وهو أغذى من جميع الفواكه وينفع خشونة الحلق والصدر، وقصبة الرئة، ويغسل الكبد والطحال، وينقي الخلط البلغمي من المعدة، ويغذو البدن غذاء جيدًا، إلا أنه يولد القمل إذا أكثر منه جدًا‏.‏ ويابسه يغذو وينفع العصب، وهو مع الجوز واللوز محمود، قال جالينوس‏:‏ وإذا أكل مع الجوز والسذاب قبل أخذ السم القاتل، نفع، وحفظ من الضرر‏.‏ ويذكر عن أبي الدرداء‏:‏ أهدي إلى النبي ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ طبق من تين، فقال‏:‏ ‏(‏كلوا و أكل منه، وقال‏:‏ لو قلت‏:‏ إن فاكهة نزلت من الجنة قلت‏:‏ هذه، لأن فاكهة الجنة بلا عجم، فكلوا منها فإنها تقطع البواسير، وتنفع من النقرس‏)‏‏.‏ وفي ثبوت هذا نظر‏.‏ واللحم منه أجود، ويعطش المحرورين، ويسكن العطش الكائن عن البلغم المالح، وينفع السعال المزمن، ويدر البول، ويفتح سدد الكبد والطحال، ويوافق الكلى والمثانة، ولأكله على الريق منفعة عجيبة في تفتيح مجاري الغذاء وخصوصًا باللوز والجوز، وأكله مع الأغذية الغليظة رديء جدًا، والتوت الأبيض قريب منه، لكنه أقل تغذية وأضر بالمعدة‏.‏

The Sunnah does not mention figs as they did not grow in Hejaaz area or Madinah al Munawwarah. FIGS require a climate different to what is essential for growing the dates.

ALLAH Has Sworn by FIGS in His Book because of its tremendous benefits & uses.

Figs are hot and either dry or wet. Best kind of figs are the white kind when they are ripe, they cleanse the sand that accumulates in the liver & prostate & serve as a preventive substance against poisons, figs are more nutritious than all other types of fruits & help relieve the roughness in chest, throat & trachea. Figs are good for liver & spleen cleansing, purify the phlegm that accumulates in the stomach & provide nourishment for the body. Yet figs make one more susceptible of lice if eaten in excess.

Dried figs have a high nutritional value & they strengthen the nerves, it is the best to eat dried figs with almonds & walnut. Jalinus (Galen) wrote that figs when eaten with walnut & rue prove of an antidote against poisons.

Abu Darda Radi Allaho Anh narrates that someone sent a dish of FIGS to Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam (as a gift), & he asked his companions to eat them, he ate them by himself & said that "If any fruit from the paradise could come in this world, it would have been FIGS, because fruits of Jannah (paradise) will be SEEDLESS, eat the figs as it cures PILES & is beneficial for the GOUT", but we are doubtful if this Hadith is authentic.

Pulp of figs is so wonderful, creates thirst among hot-natured people & quenches the thirst which results by phlegm, very affective for cough, it is a diuretic, opens & clears the clogs of liver & spleen; it is a cure for kidney & bladder infections.

When figs are eaten at empty stomach especially with almonds & walnut, they clean the entire digestive system, but figs should not e taken with heavy foods, white mulberry has the same benefits as that of figs but mulberry is less nutritious.

Figs are a miracle.
