The ruling on the hadith: (If a fly falls into the drink of one of you)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says: From Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip itإذا وقع الذباب في شراب أحدكم؛ فليغمسه..
Sahih al-Bukhari 3320
to the end of the hadith. And if the hadith is authentic, what is its scientific implication?

Answer:
The hadith is authentic; al-Bukhari narrated it in his Sahih, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
When a fly falls in the drink of one of you, he should fully dip it and then throw it away because there is disease in one of its wings and cure in the otherإذا وقع الذباب في شراب أحدكم؛ فليغمسه، ثم لينزعه؛ فإن في أحد جناحيه داء، وفي الآخر شفاءً
Bulugh al-Maram 14
as Abu Dawud added this addition.
So the point is: the hadith is authentic, and it is the Sunnah for one whose drink or food has a fly fall into it to dip it, then throw it away, and that does not harm him, and he eats his food and drinks his drink, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
