An excerpt from "Tibb un Nabawiyy" 

In the Sahihain, it is narrated that Abu Hurayrah Radhi Allahu Anh related from Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim that he said:

ثبت في الصحيحين‏:‏ من حديث أبي سلمة، عن أبي هريرة ـ رضي الله عنه ـ أن رسول الله ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قال‏:‏ ‏(‏عليكم بهذه الحبة السوداء، فإن فيها شفاء من كل داء إلا السام‏)‏‏.‏ والسام‏:‏ الموت‏

"Use the Black Seed, because it contains a cure for every type of ailment, except for death". [Tirmizi, Ahmad and Ibn Hibban].

The Black Seed (or Habbat Al-Barakah) is called Shuneiz in Persian, black cumin and Indian cumin. Al Harbi narrated that Al-Hasan said, "It is the mustard seed" while Al-Harawi said that it is the green seed which is the seed of the terebinth. These are not correct opinions, because Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam stated that it is the Black Seed, which is the Shuneiz as we have stated. The Black Seed has many benefits, as indicated by our beloved Prophet’s statement: "It is a cure for every type of disease". This statement is just like what Allah said:

‏تدمر كل شيء بأمر ربه

"Destroying everything by the Command of its Lord". (46:25)

It means destroys everything that is prone to destruction.

The Black Seed helps against all types of cold ailments. It helps to introduce the effective ingredients of cold medications to the areas affected by hot and dry ailments, as it helps the body absorb the medicine quickly when taken in small dosages.

The author of Qanoon (Ibn-e-Seena) and other people stated that saffron blended with camphor has similar effects, because saffron helps the camphor reach the affected area quickly. There are several types of plants that have similar effects as saffron. It is possible that the hot substance benefits in cases of hot diseases. For instance, the Anzarut (a plant similar to Frankincense), which is a type of eyeliner, is mixed with other remedies for Ophthalmia, conjunctivitis, and so forth. Ophthalmia is a hot tumor as the doctors agree. In addition, sulfur is a remedy for hot mange.

Shuneiz is hot and dry in the third degree, eliminates flatulence, extracts the helminthes (worms), relieves leprosy and phlegmatic fevers, opens clogs, and decomposes accumulating gas and excess moisture in the stomach. When the Shuneiz is ground, blended with honey and drunk with some warm water, it will dissolve the stones that appear in the kidney and the prostate, and it is also a diuretic. It increases the flow during menstruation and the production of milk if it is drunk for several days. When it is heated with vinegar and placed on the stomach, it will eliminate helminthes (worms). When it is blended with wet or cooked colocynth water, it is more effective in removing helminthes (worms). It also clears up, decomposes and relieves cold symptoms when it is ground in a rag and inhaled through the nose on a regular basis until the ailment is cured.

Black seed oil helps against ALOPECIA, hemorrhoids and spots. When around five grams (roughly a teaspoon) of it is drunk with water, it will help against gasping and hard breathing. When the black seeds are cooked in vinegar and then one rinses his mouth with them, they will relieve toothache resulting from sensitivity to cold. When one inhales powdered black seed; it will help against water that accumulates in the eye. When it is used in a bandage while blended with vinegar, it heals spots and exposed skin ulcers and decomposes the acute mucus tumors and the hard tumors.

The oil of Black Seed helps against facial paralysis when used as nasal drops (2 ~ 3 drops in each nostril). When one drinks around five grams (roughly a teaspoon) of its oil, it helps against spider bite. When it is ground finely and blended with the oil of green Seed and used as ear drops, only up to three drops, it helps against cold symptoms, flatulence and various clogs. When the Black Seed is fried and finely ground, soaked in oil and then drops are administered in the nose, it will help against cold conditions accompanied by intensive sneezing.

When the Black Seed is burned and mixed with melted wax along with Henna or Iris oil, it helps remove the ulcers that appear on the skin of the legs, after washing the skin with vinegar. When the Black Seeds are crushed in vinegar and laid on leprous skin, the skin affected by black pigmentation and on the head that is affected by dandruff, it helps relieve these ailments. When the Black Seeds are ground finely and one swallows a teaspoon of it each day with cold water, it instantly helps against the bite of rabid dogs, and might prevent death as a result of hydrophobia. When one administers the oil of Black seed in the nose (2 ~ 3 drops in each nostril), it will help against Faalij (CVA) and Tetanus (Tashannuj) by eliminating their causes. Finally, when the Black seeds are burnt, they help repulse the venomous beasts.

When Persian Kohl is dissolved in water and then placed on the interior of rectum and then the Black seeds are sprinkled on it, it acts like an effective remover of hemorrhoids. There are many other benefits for the Shuneiz. We should state that the dose should be around five grams (roughly a teaspoon), as some people claim that using excessive dosages of it might cause death.

حبة السوداء : ثبت في الصحيحين‏:‏ من حديث أبي سلمة، عن أبي هريرة ـ رضي الله عنه ـ أن رسول الله ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قال‏:‏ ‏(‏عليكم بهذه الحبة السوداء، فإن فيها شفاء من كل داء إلا السام‏)‏‏.‏ والسام‏:‏ الموت‏.‏ الحبة السوداء‏:‏ هي الشونيز في لغة الفرس، وهي الكمون الأسود، وتسمى الكمون الهندي، قال الحربي، عن الحسن‏:‏ إنها الخردل، وحكى الهروي‏:‏ أنها الحبة الخضراء ثمرة البطم، وكلاهما وهم، والصواب‏:‏ أنها لشونيز‏.‏ وهي كثيرة المنافع جدًا، وقوله‏:‏ ‏(‏شفاء من كل داء‏)‏، مثل قوله تعالى‏:‏ ‏{‏تدمر كل شيء بأمر ربها‏}‏ ‏[‏الأحقاف‏:‏ 25‏]‏‏.‏ أي‏:‏ كل شيء يقبل التدمير ونظائره، وهي نافعة من جميع الأمراض الباردة، وتدخل في الأمراض الحارة اليابسة بالعرض، فتوصل قوى الأدوية الباردة الرطبة إليها بسرعة تنفيذها إذا أخذ يسيرها‏.‏

أنَّ النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا صُدِع، غَلَّفَ رأسَه بالحنَّاءِ، ويقول: “إنَّهُ نافعٌ بإذنِ الله من الصُّداعِ”. روى ابن ماجه فى “سننه” حديثاً فى صحته نظر:

Narrated by Ibn Majah that whenever Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim suffered from a headache, he used to cover his head with Henna (Khazaab) and said, “Henna helps to relieve headache by the permission of Allah”.

Headaches could be relieved by vomiting, eating, being calm and idle, using cold rags, cooling the body, elevating the temperature, avoiding noise, etc. Knowing these facts, we should mention that treating headaches with Henna is partial and that it treats some types of headache, if the headache is caused by high fever and not by a spoiled substance that requires extraction. Crushed Henna blended with vinegar and applied to the forehead will relieve the headache. Henna soothes the nerves when used as a bandage. Finally, Henna is not only favorable to relieve headaches, but in addition for the various organs of the body and for the hot tumors and inflammations when used as a bandage.

عليّ بن أبي رافع، عن جدته سلمى خادم رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه وسلم قالت (ما كان أحد يشتكي إلى رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه وسلم وَجعاً في رأسه إلا قال: “احتجم” ولا وجعاً في رجليه إلا قال: “اخضبهما”) رواه داود وعنها أيضاً قالت: (كان لا يصيب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قرحة ولا شوكة إلا وضع عليها الحناء) رواه الترمذي بإسناد حسن

Ali Bin Abi Rafe’e reported on behalf of his grandfather Salma Radhi Allahu ‘anhu(servant of Prophet Muhammad  Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim): “If someone complained to Prophet Muhammad  Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim for headache, our beloved Prophet asked him for Hijamah & if someone complained for pain in his legs, Prophet Muhammad  Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim asked him to anoint with HENNA“. (Abu Dawood) He also reports “Whenever Prophet Muhammad  Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim suffered with injury or thorn piercing, the wound was only treated with Henna”. (Tirmizi)

Henna is cold in the first degree and dry in the second degree

The Henna tree has two special qualities:

1. Decomposing due to its warm watery essence

2. Constipating due to the cold earthly essence it contains.

Henna in useful in treating burns and soothes the nerves when used as a bandage, as we have stated. When chewed; Henna helps treat the cankers and thrush that appear in the mouth. Henna heals Stomatitis (inflammation of the mucous membranes of the mouth) that appears in child’s mouth. Using Henna to bandage hot tumors helps, and it has a similar effect on open sores (similar to Dragon’s blood tree). When Henna is blended with pure wax and rose oil, it will help against the aches of the side (That ul Janb ~ Pleurisy).

When the symptoms of smallpox start to break out on children; and Henna is then applied on the bottom of their feet, the eyes will be immune from the sores that accompany smallpox. When the flower of Henna is placed between wool clothes, it will perfume it and will prevent mold or mite. Furthermore, when the leaves of Henna are submerged in fresh water, then squeezed and drunk for forty days, 20 measures each day with 10 measures of sugar or honey while eating the meat of a young eve (goat), it prevents Leprosy with its amazing qualities.

 Ibn Al Qayyam wrote about a man who complained from fissuring in his fingers and that he offered monetary rewards to whoever could cure him, but to no avail. Later on, a woman prescribed for him a drink of Henna for ten days but he could not understand the idea. Later on, he soaked Henna leaves in water and drank the water and his fingers were healed and regained their beauty.

Henna when used as an ointment for the fingers, polishes and strengthens them. Henna is useful when blended with butter and then used as a bandage for the hot tumors that drain yellow residue. Henna also benefits against chronic mange, helps the hair grow, makes it stronger and strengthens the head & brain. Finally, Henna helps against the blisters and the pustules that appear on the legs and feet and the rest of the body in general.

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: (إن اليهود والنصارى لا يصبغون فخالفوهم) رواه البخاري ومسلم

Reported by Abu Hurairah Radhi Allahu ‘anhu that Prophet Muhammad  Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim said “Jews & Chiristians do not dye their hairs, so oppose them by applying the color (HENNA).”

Hennas was loved by Khulafa’-e-Rashideen, Abu Bakr & Umar Radi Allaho Anhuma.

وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: (اختضب أبو بكر بالحناء والكتم واختضب عمر بالحناء بحتاً أي صرفاً) رواه مسلم .

Reported by Anas Radhi Allahu ‘anhu , “Abu Bakr Radhi Allahu ‘anhu used to color his hairs by HENNA & KATAM, & Umar Radhi Allahu ‘anhu used to dye only with HENNA”.

Imam Muhammad Ahmed Zahabi says that there are three essential factors for healing :

1. Expulsion of fluids from the wounds

2. Cessation of production (of any more fluids)

3. Formation of healthy flesh (tissue granulation) to fill the gap created in the wound

Henna contains all these three factors and possesses very good healing properties.

اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلْكَ عِلْماً نَافِعاً وعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً ورِزْقاً حَلالاً طَيِّباً

Faghiyah (Henna Blossom)

Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, on the authority of Abdullah Bin Buraidah’s father “The best of perfumes in this world & the hereafter is Faghiyah”. Furthermore, narrated by Al-Bayhaqi on the authority of Anas Bin Malik Radi Alaho Anh that he said, “The best perfumed loved by Prophet Muhammad  Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim was Faghiyah”.

Faghiyah which is Henna blossom, is one of the best kinds of perfumes, Faghiyah is mild in its hotness and dryness, and constipates mildly. When Faghiyah is placed between folded wool clothes, it protects them from mold and mites. Faghiyah is used in ointments against facial paralysis and Aneurysm (an abnormal widening or ballooning of a portion of an artery due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessel), while its oil helps the organs and relaxes the nerves.
