3463. Anas bin Mâlik said: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saying: 'The cure for sciatica is the fat from the tail of a Bedouin sheep (or wild sheep), which should be melted and divided into three parts, one part to be taken each day on an empty stomach.'" (Sahih)
3463 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَرَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «شِفَاءُ عِرْقِ النَّسَا، أَلْيَةُ شَاةٍ أَعْرَابِيَّةٍ تُذَابُ، ثُمَّ تُجَزَّأُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ، ثُمَّ يُشْرَبُ عَلَى الرِّيقِ، فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ جُزْءٌ»
