📖 1 min readعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «إذا وقع الذباب في شراب أحدكم فليغمسه، ثم لينزعه؛ فإن في أحد جناحيه داء، وفي الآخر شفاء». وفي رواية: «وإنه يتقي بجناحه الذي فيه الداء».
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us that if a fly falls into a drink, it does not affect it; rather, the person drinking should immerse the whole fly in the drink. The reason is that one of the fly’s wings carries a disease, and this is the wing that falls in the liquid. The other wing, however, carries the cure from that disease. Modern medicine has proven the validity of this piece of information, which Muslims have known for centuries; so, praise be to Allah for the blessing of Islam.
