[5770] 91 - (2217) It was narrated that Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'My brother's bowels are loose.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Give him honey to drink.' He gave him honey, then he came and said: 'I gave him honey to drink but it only made the problem worse.' He said it to him three times, then he came the fourth time and he (ﷺ) said: 'Give him honey to drink.' He said: 'I did that before and it only made it worse.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Allāh speaks the Truth and your brother's bowels are lying.' Then he gave him honey to drink and he recovered."

91 - (2217) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَخِي اسْتَطْلَقَ بَطْنُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا» فَسَقَاهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي سَقَيْتُهُ عَسَلًا فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا اسْتِطْلَاقًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ: «اسْقِهِ عَسَلًا» فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ سَقَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا اسْتِطْلَاقًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صَدَقَ اللهُ، وَكَذَبَ بَطْنُ أَخِيكَ» فَسَقَاهُ فَبَرَأَ
