حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَسْمَائَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلَهَا بِمَ تَسْتَمْشِينَ قَالَتْ بِالشُّبْرُمِ قَالَ حَارٌّ جَارٌّ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ اسْتَمْشَيْتُ بِالسَّنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ أَنَّ شَيْئًا کَانَ فِيهِ شِفَائٌ مِنْ الْمَوْتِ لَکَانَ فِي السَّنَا قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ يَعْنِي دَوَائَ الْمَشِيِّ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2081
Asma' bint 'Umais narrated that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) asked her what they used as a laxative. She said: Shubrum He said: It is hot and too strong. She said: Then I used Senna as a laxative. So the Prophet (S.A.W): If there was anything that would have a cure for death in it, then it would have been Senna.
