حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا وَمَعَنَا غَالِبُ بْنُ أَبْجَرَ فَمَرِضَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ ، فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ ، فَعَادَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ ، فَقَالَ لَنَا : عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحُبَيْبَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فَخُذُوا مِنْهَا خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا ، فَاسْحَقُوهَا ، ثُمَّ اقْطُرُوهَا فِي أَنْفِهِ بِقَطَرَاتِ زَيْتٍ ، فِي هَذَا الْجَانِبِ ، وَفِي هَذَا الْجَانِبِ ، فَإِنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحَبَّةَ السَّوْدَاءَ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ ، إِلَّا مِنَ السَّامِ ، قُلْتُ : وَمَا السَّامُ ، قَالَ : الْمَوْتُ " .
Narrated Khalid bin Sa`d: We went out and Ghalib bin Abjar was accompanying us. He fell ill on the way and when we arrived at Medina he was still sick. Ibn Abi 'Atiq came to visit him and said to us, "Treat him with black cumin. Take five or seven seeds and crush them (mix the powder with oil) and drop the resulting mixture into both nostrils, for `Aisha has narrated to me that she heard the Prophet saying, 'This black cumin is healing for all diseases except As-Sam.' Aisha said, 'What is As-Sam?' He said, 'Death."

Hadith Commentary:
Death comes at its appointed time, therefore there is no cure for it.
Black seed (kalonji), that is, black cumin, is also very beneficial for boils and abscesses.
Once, one of the noble wives (azwaj mutahharat) had a boil on her finger, so the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked, "Do you have cumin (zeera)?" She replied, "Yes." He then said, "Place the cumin on it."
