عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَخِي اسْتُطْلِقَ بَطْنُهُ قَالَ اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا قَالَ فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَقَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا اسْتِطْلَاقًا قَالَ اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا قَالَ فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَقَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا اسْتِطْلَاقًا فَقَالَ اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا قَالَ فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَقَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا اسْتِطْلَاقًا فَقَالَ لَهُ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ فَسَقَاهُ فَبَرَأَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَكَذَبَ بَطْنُ أَخِيكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "My brother is suffering from diarrhea." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him honey to drink." He gave him honey to drink and came back saying, "I have given him honey, but the diarrhea has increased because of it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him honey to drink." So he went and again came back saying, "I have given him honey, but the diarrhea has further increased." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him more honey to drink." He went and for the third time came back saying, "I have given him honey, but the diarrhea keeps increasing." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said for the fourth time, "Give him honey to drink." This time, when he gave him honey, he was cured. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah is true and your brother's stomach has lied," (meaning your brother's stomach was not yet ready to accept the cure).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah says: Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, after mentioning the countless benefits of honey in (Zad al-Ma'ad: 3/97-98), said: The person for whom the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam prescribed this remedy had developed indigestion due to overeating, and then diarrhea began. He was instructed to drink honey so that the excess material in the stomach and intestines would be expelled. When a viscous mixture settles in the stomach, it gets trapped in the fibers that line its inner surface; thus, corruption and spoilage occur in the stomach, and due to the stickiness, food cannot remain there. In such a situation, the best remedy is that which expels the mixed material from the stomach, and that is honey—especially when it is used mixed with warm water.
