Thread: Treating diarrhea

It is narrated in the books of Imaams Al-Bukhaari and Muslim that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "A man came to the Prophet and said: 'My brother is complaining about his stomach, or he is complaining about diarrhea.’ The Prophet said: 'Give him some honey.’ The man went and came back later, saying, ‘I have given him some honey, but it did not help,' or he said, ‘it made his diarrhea worse.' He repeated this twice or three times, all the while the Prophet continued saying to him: 'Give him some honey.' In the third or fourth time, the Prophet said: 'Allaah has said the truth while your brother's stomach has lied. Go back and let him drink honey.’ This time the ill man recovered.”


The Prophet used to drink some honey mixed with water on an empty stomach. There is a wonderful secret behind this practice regarding preserving the health. He said: "Make use of the two cures: honey and the Quran." [Ibn Maajah and others]
