The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
The chain of narration of this hadith is good, but what is the meaning of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him and his family):Sunan Ibn Majah 3062Hasan (Darussalam)? Is the intended meaning generality? That if a person drinks it for thirst, he becomes satiated, or for hunger, he becomes full, or for ignorance, he becomes knowledgeable, or for illness, he is healed, or something similar? Or is it said that it is for what it is drunk for in relation to eating and drinking, meaning that if you drink it for thirst, you are quenched, and for hunger, you are filled, but not for anything else?
