Jami at-Tirmidhi · Book 28: Chapters on Medicine · What Has Been Related About Senna
Asma' bint 'Umais narrated that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) asked her what they used as a laxative. She said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قال حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَأَلَهَا " بِمَ تَسْتَمْشِينَ " . قَالَتْ بِالشُّبْرُمِ . قَالَ " حَارٌّ جَارٌّ " . قَالَتْ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَا . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَوْ أَنَّ شَيْئًا كَانَ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ لَكَانَ فِي السَّنَا " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ . يَعْنِي دَوَاءَ الْمَشْىِّ .
"Shubrum" He said: "It is hot and too strong." She said:"Then I used Senna as a laxative." So the Prophet (S.A.W) said: "If there was anything that would have a cure for death in it, then it would have been Senna."
