Hadith 2068

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالُوا : الْكَمْأَةُ جُدَرِيُّ الْأَرْضِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْكَمْأَةُ مِنَ الْمَنِّ ، وَمَاؤُهَا شِفَاءٌ لِلْعَيْنِ ، وَالْعَجْوَةُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَهِيَ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ السُّمِّ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ .
´"Abu Hurairah narrated that people among the Companions of the Prophet (S.A.W) would say:` "Truffles are the earth's smallpox." So the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: "Truffles are a form of manna, and its liquid is a cure for the eye. Al-'Ajwah is from Paradise, and it contains a cure for 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.”

Benefits and Issues:
The meaning of "being from Paradise" is that it is blessed.
Or, this type of date palm came down to earth from Paradise.
Just as the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) was sent down to earth from Paradise.
And Allah knows best.
