حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ سَرْحٍ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ بَكْرٍ السَّكْسَكِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُبَيِّ بْنَ أُمِّ حَرَامٍ , وَكَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ , يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسَّنَى وَالسَّنُّوتِ , فَإِنَّ فِيهِمَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ , إِلَّا السَّامَ " , قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ : وَمَا السَّامُ ؟ قَالَ : " الْمَوْتُ " , قَالَ عَمْرٌو : قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ : السَّنُّوتُ : الشِّبِتُّ , وقَالَ آخَرُونَ : بَلْ هُوَ الْعَسَلُ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي زِقَاقِ السَّمْنِ , وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّاعِرِ : هُمُ السَّمْنُ بِالسَّنُّوتِ لَا أَلْسَ فِيهِمْ وَهُمْ يَمْنَعُونَ جَارَهُمْ أَنْ يُقَرَّدَا .
´Ibrahim bin Abu ‘Ablah said:` “I heard Abu Ubayy bin Umm Haram, who had prayed with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) facing both the Qiblah, saying: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “You should use senna and the Sannut, for in them there is healing for every disease, except the Sam.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is the Sam?” He said: “Death.” (One of the narrators) ‘Amr said: “Ibn Abu ‘Ablah said: the ‘Sannut is dill.” Others said: “Rather, it is honey that is kept in a skin (i.e., receptacle) used for ghee.”*

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Commentary: ➊ Nawab Waheed uz-Zaman Khan has translated "sanoot" as "sawiya" (fennel), which is a complete (plant). Some people include it among leafy vegetables, whereas in this narration its meaning is given as honey. ➋ Senna (sana makki) is also a plant whose leaves are laxative. ➌ Treatment with plants is a better method.
