Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ حِبَّانَ الْبَجَلِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ قَالَ الْكَمْأَةُ دَوَاءُ الْعَيْنِ وَإِنَّ الْعَجْوَةَ مِنْ فَاكِهَةِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحَبَّةَ السَّوْدَاءَ قَالَ ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ يَعْنِي الشُّونِيزَ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي الْمِلْحِ دَوَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا الْمَوْتَ.
English Translation
Aswad ibn 'Amir narrated to us: Zuhayr narrated to us from Wasil ibn Hibban al-Bajali: 'Abdullah ibn Buraydah narrated to me from his father, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "The truffle (kam'ah) is a remedy for the eye, and the 'ajwah date is among the fruits of Paradise, and this black seed" - Ibn Buraydah said: meaning the shuniz (black cumin) that is in salt - "is a remedy for every disease except death."
