2041. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Use this black seed. For indeed it contains a cure for every disease except As-Sām'' And As-Sām is death. (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Buraidah, Ibn 'Umar and 'Aishah. This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. [And black seed is Ash-Shūnīz].
٢٠٤١ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ» السَّوْدَاءِ؛ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ. وَالسَّامُ الْمَوْتُ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَعَائِشَةَ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْحَبَّةُ السَّوْدَاءُ: هِيَ الشُّونِيزُ.

Black seed (nigella stiva) is a seed much like black cumin. It is sharp in smell and taste. If kept in a paper jacket it leaves oily traces on it. It can be used for treating different ailments in different forms - compounded, uncompounded, ground, in the form of a dressing (or bandage) or even by sniffing it.
