Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Yes. I bear witness to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding… Yes. Healing by honey, cupping, and cauterization, does not that specify the hadith
There is healing in black cumin for allالحبة السوداء شفاء من كل
Sahih al-Bukhari 5688
? Otherwise, why would it be rendered inoperative if it were general? If the black seed is a cure for all diseases, why did he not guide to it instead of others, such as cupping?

Answer : Yes, it is permissible that it could be this and that. Perhaps one person, for example, does not have honey, nor does he have a cupping set, but he has the black seed, or vice versa, meaning all of them are suitable for this. We have also previously stated that the mention of healing in three things is with respect to what they use for treatment, because this is not on the basis of generality.
