حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ) عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا وَقَعَ الذُّبَابُ فِي إِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَامْقُلُوهُ فَإِنَّ فِي أَحَدِ جَنَاحَيْهِ دَاءً وَفِي الآخَرِ شِفَاءً وَإِنَّهُ يَتَّقِي بِجَنَاحِهِ الَّذِي فِيهِ الدَّاءُ فَلْيَغْمِسْهُ كُلَّهُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: when a fly alights in anyone’s vessel, he should plunge it all in, for in one of its wings there is a disease, and in the other is a cure. It prevents the wing of it is which there is a cure, so plunge it all in (the vessel).

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমাদের কারো পাত্রে মাছি পড়লে তা এর ভিতরে ডুবিয়ে দাও। কেননা তার এক ডানায় রোগ এবং অপর ডানায় নিরাময় রয়েছে। সে জীবাণুযুক্ত পাখা ডুবিয়ে দিতে চেষ্টা করে। কাজেই তা সম্পূর্ণভাবে ডুবিয়ে দাও।[1] সহীহ।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جب تم میں سے کسی کے برتن میں مکھی گر جائے تو اسے برتن میں ڈبو دو کیونکہ اس کے ایک پر میں بیماری ہوتی ہے اور دوسرے میں شفاء، اور وہ اپنے اس بازو کو برتن کی طرف آگے بڑھا کر اپنا بچاؤ کرتی ہے جس میں بیماری ہوتی ہے، اس کے پوری مکھی کو ڈبو دینا چاہیئے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Hanbal] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Bisyr bin Al Mufadldlal] dari [Ibnu 'Ajlan] dari [Sa'id Al Maqburi] dari [Abu Hurairah] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika ada lalat jatuh ke dalam bejana salah seorang dari kalian maka celupkanlah lalat tersebut, karena sesungguhnya di dalam salah satu sayapnya terdapat penyakit dan pada sayap yang lain terdapat obat.

Sesungguhnya lalat tersebut melindungi diri dengan sayap yang padanya terdapat penyakit, maka celupkanlah semuannya

Ebû Hureyre (r.a)'den rivayet olunduğuna göre, Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurmuştur: "Birinizin (içinde sulu yemek bulunan) kabına kara sinek düştüğü vakit onu (tamamen yemeğin içine) batırınız. Çünkü onun bir kanadında hastalık (yapan mikrop), diğerinde de şifa vardır ve o (tehlikelerden) içinde hastalık bulunan kanadıyla korunur.

(Bu nedenle yemeğe bu kanadıyla düşer, diğer kanadı ise dışarda kalır). Binaenaleyh (şifalı kanadındaki şifayı yemeğe bırakarak öbür kanadıyla bıraktığı hastalığı tesirsiz hale getirmek için) onun her tarafını (yemeğe) batırınız

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us that if a fly falls into a drink, it does not affect it; rather, the person drinking should immerse the whole fly in the drink. The reason is that one of the fly’s wings carries a disease, and this is the wing that falls in the liquid. The other wing, however, carries the cure from that disease.

Modern medicine has proven the validity of this piece of information, which Muslims have known for centuries; so, praise be to Allah for the blessing of Islam.
