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.

مِسْكٌ / Misk ~ Musk ~ Kastoori

مِسْكٌ: ثبت فى "صحيح مسلم"، عن أبى سعيد الخُدرىِّ رضى الله عنه، عن النبىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: "أطيبُ الطِّيبِ المِسْكُ".وفى "الصحيحين" عن عائشة رضى الله عنها: "كنتُ أُطيِّبُ النبىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قبل أن يَحْرِمَ ويومَ النَّحْرِ قبل أن يطوفَ بالبيت بطيبٍ فيه مِسْكٌ". المِسك: مَلِكُ أنواعِ الطيب، وأشرُفهَا وأطيُبَها، وهو الذى تُضرب به الأمثال، ويُشَبَّه به غيرُه، ولا يُشبَّه بغيره، وهو كُثبان الجنَّة، وهو حارٌ يابس فى الثانية، يَسُرُّ النفس ويُقَوِّيها، ويُقَوِّى الأعضاء الباطنة جميعها شُرباً وشمّاً، والظاهرةَ إذا وُضِعَ عليها. نافع للمشايخ، والمبرودين، لا سِيَّما زمن الشتاء، جيد للغَشْى والخفقانِ، وضعف القوة بإنعاشه للحرارة الغريزية، ويجلو بياضَ العين، ويُنشِّف رطوبتها، ويَفُشُّ الرياح منها ومن جميع الأعضاء، ويُبطل عملَ السموم، وينفعُ مِن نَهْش الأفاعى، ومنافِعُه كثيرة جداً، وهو أقوى المفرِّحات.

Narrated by Sahih Muslim, Abu Said Al-Khudri Radi Allaho Anh reported that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said: “The best type of perfume is Musk”.



In the Sahihain, it is narrated that Aishah Radi Allaho Anha said that she used to anoint Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam with a perfume containing Musk before assuming Ihram, on the Day of the Sacrifice and before performing Tawaaf around the Sacred House (Ka’bah).

Musk is the king of all perfumes, it has the best aroma. Other types of perfumes are usually compared to Musk, but Musk is never compared to them. In addition, the hills and sands of Paradise are made of Musk.


Musk is a hot, dry substance of the second degree, and it brings comfort and joy to the hearts and strengthens the inner organs when it is drunk or smelled. Musk brings strength and comfort to the external organs when anointed with it. Musk is beneficial for old people and for those who have excessive skin moisture; especially during winter, and helps against fainting, shaking and the general weakness in the body as it excites the instinctive heat. Musk clears the white part in the eye and dries excess moisture in it, and dissipates swelling in various organs. Musk works as an antidote for some poisons, and helps against snakebite. It has many other benefits.

Ruqyah for Namlah (sores)

Ruqyah for Namlah (Sores)

Prophet’s Guidance in treating the Namlah (Sores / Swellings / Numbness)

من حديث أنس الذى فى "صحيح مسلم" أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم "رخَّص فى الرُّقْيَةِ مِنَ الحُمَةِ والعَيْنِ والنَّمْلَةِ".

We mentioned the Hadith narrated by Anas Radi Allaho Anh in Sahih Muslim that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam allowed using the Ruqyah from every type of fever, evil eye and Namlah.

وفى "سنن أبى داود" عن الشِّفَاء بنت عبد الله، قالت: دخل علىَّ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأنا عِند حَفْصَة، فقال: "ألا تُعَلِّمينَ هذه رُقية النَّمْلةِ كما عَلَّمْتِيها الكتابةَ".

In addition, Abu Dawood narrated that Shifa Bint Abdullah Radi Allaho Anha said, "The Messenger of Allah came by while I was with Hafsah, he said: "Why do you not teach her (Hafsah, our beloved Prophet's wife) the Ruqyah from Namlah as you taught her how to write."

An-Namlah, literally the ant, is called as such because it is a type of swelling that appears on the sides of the body. The Namlah is a known disease and causes a type of sting in the sides that makes one think that an ant is crawling on his side and biting him.

وروى الخَلاَّل: أنَّ الشِّفَاء بنتَ عبد الله كانت تَرقى فى الجاهلية من النَّمْلَة، فلمَّا هاجرت إلى النبىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وكانت قد بايعته بمكة، قالت: يا رسول الله ؛ إنِّى كنت أرقى فى الجاهلية من النَّمْلَة، وإنى أُريدُ أن أعْرِضَهَا عليكَ، فعرضت عليه فقالت: بسم اللهِ ضَلَّت حتى تعود مِن أفواهها، ولا تَضُرُّ أحداً، اللَّهُمَّ اكشف البأسَ ربَّ الناسِ، قال: ترقى بِهَا عَلَى عُودٍ سبعَ مَرات، وتقصِدُ مَكاناً نظيفاً، وَتَدْلُكُهُ على حجر بخَلِّ خَمرٍ حاذق، وتَطْلِيه على النَّمْلَةِ

Al-Khallal narrated that Ash-Shifaa Bint Abdullah Radi Allaho Anha used to recite Ruqyah for Namlah during the times before Islam. When she emigrated to Madinah Munawwarah, after she had given him her pledge of allegiance in Makkah Mukarramah, she said, "O Messenger of Allah! I used to recite the Ruqyah from the Namlah during the time of Jahiliyyah (before Islam) and I want to read it to you". She recited it to him,

"In the Name of Allah! May the harm be extracted until it goes back to where it came from without harming anyone. O Allah! Remove the harm, O Lord of the people.”

Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam said "Recite it on a clean branch of wood seven times, choose a clean place, rub the branch on a clean stone with vinegar and then anoint the affected area with it".

The Hadith also asserts the fact that it is legislated to teach women to read & write.

As explained by Ibn Al Qayyam, the disease An-Namlah, literally the ant, is a known disease and causes a type of sting in the sides that makes one think that an ant is crawling on his side and biting him. He also wrote that Namlah is of three types, but any explanation further was not quoted by him.

Based on the above, Namlah could be sores, swellings OR NUMBNESS, for all these conditions, the patient always feels and says that ants are walking on the affected area, Allah Knows the best.

The elegance of Tibb-e-Nabwi, when Ruqyah is grouped with natural cures, wood, stone & vinegar, what a beautiful combination.
