Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Ja‘far narrated to us; Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Abu al-Mutawakkil, from Abu Sa‘id, who said: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, ‘My brother has severe diarrhea.’ He replied, ‘Give him honey to drink.’ The man gave him honey, then returned and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I gave him honey, but it only increased his diarrhea.’ The Messenger of Allah again said, ‘Give him honey to drink.’ The man gave him honey, then came back and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I gave him honey, but it only increased his diarrhea.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Allah has spoken the truth, and your brother’s stomach has lied. Give him honey to drink.’ The man gave him honey, and he recovered. Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith.
