Is the hadith: “Indeed, in the urine of camels is a cure for the disease of the stomach” authentic?

The questioner : The questioner says: Is the hadith: authentic?

The Shaykh : Yes, this hadith is not authentic in terms of its chain of narration. It is included in my book *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da'ifah wa al-Mawdu'ah* (The Chain of Weak and Fabricated Hadiths) and the other book *Da'if al-Jami' al-Saghir* (The Weak Hadiths in al-Jami' al-Saghir). In my opinion—and this is, of course, a personal opinion, and what encourages me to hold it, after relying on the science of hadith, is the knowledge of the weakness of the chain in this hadith—I dare to say: In my opinion, one of the narrators of this hadith made a mistake, and the well-known hadith, whose authenticity is established in al-Bukhari and Muslim, regarding the story of the 'Urnayn, was reversed upon him. This is a story known to all students of knowledge; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to go outside the city, to drink from the milk of the camels, and to treat themselves with their urine. Indeed, they recovered, and after they recovered, they became arrogant with their strength and killed the shepherd. You know the rest of the story. It appears that one of the narrators of this weak hadith assumed from this hadith, or deduced from this hadith, that the urine of camels is indeed a cure, so this text resulted from him. In any case, it is weak and its attribution to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not valid. Rather, whoever is using evidence should only use the story of the 'Urnayn as evidence.
