حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ , أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ , عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ , عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ , قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا وَمَعَنَا غَالِبُ بْنُ أَبْجَرَ فَمَرِضَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ , فَقَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ , فَعَادَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ , وَقَالَ لَنَا : عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ , فَخُذُوا مِنْهَا خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا فَاسْحَقُوهَا , ثُمَّ اقْطُرُوهَا فِي أَنْفِهِ بِقَطَرَاتِ زَيْتٍ فِي هَذَا الْجَانِبِ , وَفِي هَذَا الْجَانِبِ , فَإِنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُمْ , أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحَبَّةَ السَّوْدَاءَ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ , إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ السَّامُ " , قُلْتُ : وَمَا السَّامُ ؟ قَالَ : " الْمَوْتُ " .
´It was narrated that Khalid bin Sa’d said:` “We went out and with us was Ghalib bin Abjar. He fell sick along the way, and when we came to Al-Madinah he was sick. Ibn Abu ‘Atiq came to visit him and said to us: ‘You should use this black seed. Take five or seven (seeds) and grind them to a powder, then drop them into his nose with drops of olive oil, on this side and on this side. For ‘Aishah narrated to them that she heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “This black seed is a healing for every disease, except the Sam.” I said: “What is the 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."
