´It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:` “We used to narrate from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and mention truffles, and they said: ‘(It is) the smallpox of the earth.’ When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was told of what they were saying: he said: ‘Truffles are a type of manna, and the Ajwah are from Paradise, and they are a healing from poison.’”

Explanation:
1:
Here, the translation of the word (al-kama’ah) mentioned in the hadith as “mushroom” is absolutely incorrect. In the colloquial language of the Arabs, “al-kama’ah” is called “faq’ah.” This faq’ah spreads underground in the vast deserts of Najd and Nafud al-Kubra, in the north of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the south of Iraq, after the winter rains. Its color and shape resemble that of a potato. In contrast, mushrooms grow above the ground and are found in the sandy regions of India. According to the definitions written by Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Hajar, and other scholars of the Ummah, (al-kama’ah) is in fact faq’ah, not mushroom. (For details, refer to Fath al-Bari and Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi. Also, see the detailed discussion in the footnote to hadith number (3455) of Ibn Majah. And wherever kama’ah has been translated as mushroom, replace it with “faq’ah.”
