وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا وَقَعَ الذُّبَابُ فِي الطَّعَامِ فَامْقُلُوهُ فَإِنَّ فِي أَحَدِ جَنَاحَيْهِ سُمًّا وَفِي الْآخَرِ شِفَاءً وَإِنَّهُ يُقَدِّمُ السَّمَّ وَيُؤَخِّرُ الشِّفَاءَ» . رَوَاهُ فِي شرح السّنة
Translation
Abu Saʿid al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, reported from the Prophet ﷺ: ‘If a fly falls into food, immerse it, for on one of its wings is poison and on the other a cure. It puts forward the poison and holds back the cure.’ It is transmitted in Sharh al-Sunna.
