Healing in Three Things – Cupping, Honey, and Cauterization | Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 5681
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ الأَفْطَسِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الشِّفَاءُ فِي ثَلاَثَةٍ فِي شَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ أَوْ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ أَوْ كَيَّةٍ بِنَارٍ وَأَنَا أَنْهٰى أُمَّتِي عَنِ الْكَيِّ.
Narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) from the Prophet (ﷺ):
He said: “Healing is in three things: in cupping, in drinking honey, and in cauterizing with fire. But I forbid my Ummah from cauterizing with fire.” (Adhunik Prakashani-5270, Islamic Foundation-5166)

The Punishment of Those Who Betrayed the Prophet’s Shepherd – Sahih Hadith
مُوسٰى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ نَاسًا اجْتَوَوْا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَلْحَقُوا بِرَاعِيهِ يَعْنِي الإِبِلَ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنَ الْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا فَلَحِقُوا بِرَاعِيهِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنَ الْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا حَتّٰى صَلَحَتْ أَبْدَانُهُمْ فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَسَاقُوا الإِبِلَ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَعَثَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ ذ‘لِكَ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الْحُدُودُ.
Narrated from Anas (RA):
Some people in Madinah felt uncomfortable with its climate. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to go to his shepherd, meaning his camels, and to drink from the milk and urine of the camels. They went and joined the shepherd and began drinking the milk and urine of the camels. When their bodies became healthy, they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When the news reached the Prophet (ﷺ), he sent people in their pursuit. Then they were brought back. After that, he cut off their hands and feet and gouged out their eyes.
Qatadah (RAH) said: Muhammad Ibn Sirin narrated to me that this was before the Hudud (legal punishments) were revealed.
