3457. Ibrâhim bin Abu 'Ablah said: "I heard Abu Ubayy bin Umm Harâm, who had prayed with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ facing both the Qiblah, saying: 'I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "You should use senna and the Sannut, for in them there is healing for every disease, except the Sâm.'" It was said: "O Messenger of Allâh, what is the Sâm?" He said: "Death."
(One of the narrators) 'Amr said: "Ibn Abu 'Ablah said: the 'Sannut is dill." Others said: "Rather, it is honey that is kept in a skin (i.e., receptacle) used for ghee."[1] (Hasan)
